Thermal analyzers are used to measure mechanical properties as a function of temperature or time. Numerous types of thermal analyzers are available such as simultaneous thermal analyzers, dynamic mechanical analyzers, thermogravimetric analyzers, thermomechanical analyzers, and many more. For a high throughput lab with a need for both thermogravimetric and calorimetric data, consider a simultaneous thermal analyzer as this can provide simultaneous data for both measurements under the same testing conditions. Many materials testing laboratories opt for dynamic mechanical analyzers for their ability to accurately analyze the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of various materials including polymers, thermoplastics, and metals. When comparing thermal analysis equipment some key considerations to keep in mind could be temperature precision, accuracy, and many other application-specific specifications. Thermal analyzers have a wide range of applications in materials testing, pharmaceutical testing, food testing, and many other applications.

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.
