Dilatometry / Thermomechanical Analysis / Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis
DIL / TMA / DMA / GST
For highly precise measurement of dimension changes to solids, melts, powders and pastes at a programmed temperature change and with negligible sample strain, dilatometry (DIL) is the method of choice. With Thermo-Mechanical Analysis (TMA), the measurement of the dimensional changes can additionally be carried out with adjustable sample strain. Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA) records the temperature-dependent visco-elastic properties and determines the modulus of elasticity and the damping values by applying an oscillating force to the sample.
NETZSCH instruments of course fulfill the respective instrument and applications standards for Dilatometry - DIL and Thermo-Mechanical Analysis - TMA (e.g. ASTM E 831, ASTM D 696, ASTM D 3386, DIN 51045) and for Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis - DMA (e.g. ASTM D 4065,
ASTM D 4092, DIN 53513, DIN 65583).
