You want to analyze your materials by dilatometry?
What is dilatometry?
First, dilatometry is a thermal analysis technique. It is a method used to measure the expansion of an object as a function of temperature and pressure.
Indeed, the sample and a support are introduced into an oven where they are subjected to different temperature and pressure programs.
Moreover, this method is used to test a wide range of materials including :
- ceramics
- glasses
- polymers
- metals, etc…
Why analyze your materials by dilatometry?
First of all, the analysis of your materials by dilatometry allows to obtain several information on your materials, such as:
- The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) or contraction
- The softening point (SP)
- The glass transition temperature (Tg)
Thus, dilatometry, moreover, to predict the limits of applications of your products and to understand the behavior of your materials.
