| The horizontal arrangement of the DIL 402 CD offers specific advantages regarding temperature profile over the sample, sample handling, or safety purposes. No convective heat transfer between the measuring system (transducer area) and the sample area will occur at low or high temperatures, generally causing increased drift and noise. Various sample geometries such as thin rods or plates can be measured in the horizontal arrangement without any problem. In case of sample decomposition or melting the transducer system is protected against contamination by design. The system allows measurement of samples between 0 and 25 mm long. The forced air or liquid-nitrogen cooled furnaces offer fast heating and cooling times and at the same time a homogeneous temperature profile over the sample. Motorized movement of the pushrods and automatic zeroing of both sample positions are standard features of the new system. ment. |
