Description of the Technology

The thermomechanical analysis equipment allows to evaluate the changes of linear dimensions of materials depending on the ambient temperature (from -150oC to 600oC), time of the experiment and / or applied load (up to 1 N).



Applications

With the thermomechanical analysis equipment it is possible to analyze the processes of structural transformation of materials, to determine the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, to evaluate the stability of material dimensions, as well as to study micro-creep processes depending on temperature and experimental time.



Advantages

 Relatively wide range of temperature range, possibilities to test linear thermal expansion of materials in different load modes (tensile, compression); possibility to perform testing in an ISO / IEC EN 17025 accredited laboratory.
