Dual- and differential-dilatometer unified in a new concept

DIL 402 CD - Vacuum-tight, horizontal pushrod dilatometer

General Technique Software Applications Accessories Literature

The DIL 402 CD runs under Proteus® Software on MS Windows®. The Proteus® Software includes everything you need to carry out a measurement and evaluate the resulting data. Through the combination of easy-to-understand menus and automated routines, a tool has been created that is extremely user-friendly and, at the same time, allows sophisticated analysis. The Proteus® software is licensed with the instrument and can of course be installed on other computer systems.

Dilatometer analysis features:

Plotting of the absolute or relative expansion/shrinkage curves, independently for two different samples or as a difference of two samples

Various correction options:
- correction of the system’s own expansion behavior with either a calibration measurement
or sample holder correction
- offset correction
- online correction by comparative measurements with standard sample

Semi-automatic routines for determination of onset, peak and end temperatures

Glass transitions and dilatometric softening points

Analyses in accordance with DIN (German standards)

Automatic softening point detection

Derivation of curves for determination of the temperature- or time-dependent linear expansion rates

Expansion coefficients: calculation and graphic presentation of the technical and physical expansion coefficients

Analysis of sintering temperatures

Automatic determination of the shrinkage during a sintering step

Rate-controlled temperature guidance for optimization of sintering, unique option for "corrected RCS" through usage of a standard sample in differential mode (RCS option)

c-DTA® for determination of endo- and exothermal effects of a sample
