High temperature, high force & high precision

New Thermomechanical Analyzer TMA 402 Hyperion®

Thermomechanical analysis is a widely used tool to investigate expansion, shrinkage or softening of samples as a function of temperature under a defined load. Main focus is the determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of polymers, composites, metals, ceramics and glasses.

The newly developed TMA 402 Hyperion® accommodates specimens up to 30 mm long, whose thermomechanical properties can be investigated under a force of up to 3 N. A built-in force sensor ensures that forces can be reliably adjusted with mN-accuracy. Everything is completely software-controlled.


A Variety of Application Fields

Its flexibility and the wide range of different measurement possibilities make the TMA 402 Hyperion® the instrument of choice in countless application fields:

• Analysis of the glass transition and softening point

• Characterization of visco-elastic properties of polymers

• Optimization of sintering processes of ceramics
