All SETARAM balances satisfy the highest accuracy and stability criteria. Properties measured by thermogravimetry (TGA) include corrosion, pyrolysis,...

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION • Temperature and heat of crystallization (DTA/DSC) • Crystallinity ratio (DSC) • Temperature and heat of phase transition (DTA/DSC) • Temperature and heat of melting (DTA/DSC) Temperature measurement DTA – Differential Thermal Analysis measures the temperature difference between a sample and a reference material (subjected to the same temperature variation in a controlled atmosphere). DTA measures the transformation temperature in all categories of materials. SETARAM offers the widest temperature range of all DTA systems (from –150°C to 2400°C°) using high-precision...

MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION • Vicker hardness test • Coefficient of thermal expansion (TMA) • Sintering study (TMA) • Softening temperature (TMA) • Shore hardness test • Stiffness determination • Fatigue testing (DMA) • Young modulus • Shear modulus determination (DMA) Dimension variation Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) measures the deformation of a sample under constant stress against time or temperature, with a programmed temperature. The vertical design of SETARAM’s TMA systems enables working with very low loads, applying only negligible force to the sample. Properties measured by thermomechanical...
