- Integrated gas & steam dosing & pressure control eliminates need for a separate system and enables a compact footprint
- Highly accurate balance temperature control for optimized baseline stability
- Non-porous isolation material in contact with the reaction gas within the furnace eliminates potential retention of gases (“memory” effect) and enables rapid attainment of vacuum
- Curie-point calibration eliminates the effects of the reaction gas type and pressure on the temperature measurement
- Compact design puts high pressure TGA on the benchtop, minimizing valuable lab space requirements and enabling installation in a fume hood to easily manage ventilation when working with toxic gases
- High heating and cooling rates (~200 K/min), even under high pressure, reduces potential for unwanted side reactions and improves sample throughput
- Small internal volume allows for rapid gas changes and quick pressurization, low gas consumption, and safe operational conditions due to the small quantity of compressed gas

With the ever-increasing demands for higher performing materials to meet the needs of challenging applications, understanding how a material reacts to its environment is more important than ever. Meeting and exceeding industry standards* for testing, the Discovery TMA 450 provides information about the material’s coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE), shrinkage, softening, glass transition temperatures, and much more. The advanced options can be used to obtain viscoelastic properties such as the material’s stiffness (Modulus), damping properties (tan delta), creep and stress relaxation. The TMA 450 is particularly useful for measuring these material properties locally, especially in manufactured components or assemblies where compatibility of materials is paramount.
