Dilatometry

Dilatometer photoDescription

The UNITHERM™ 1091 multi-sample dilatometer is a fully computerized dilatometer system designed to measure dimensional changes of a specimen brought about by changes in its thermal environment.

Properties Measured

The dilatometer can determine linear thermal expansion coefficient (CTE), annealing characteristics, and other physical or chemical changes manifesting themselves in a change of linear dimension. Studies of processing parameters as reflected by dimensional changes of the material can be studied in great detail through duplication of thermal cycles and rates used in the actual process. Due to the flexible programming of thermal cycles, complex processes can be easily simulated.
