According to
international standards (e.g. DIN 53440, ASTM D 4092
ASTM D 5023, ASTM D 5026, ASTM D 5418)
The focus of the
versatile DMA 242 is the area of polymers. The large variety
of sample shapes and differences in elasticity found in plastics,
rubbers, composite materials and bio-polymers is taken into
account with specially-designed sample holders. The amplitude
is measured with a very high degree of accuracy due to the patented
displacement sensor (DE 43 09 530 C 2). The maximum resolution
is defined in nm range.
The advanced software under WindowsÆ provides,
for example, extrapolations beyond the measurable frequency
range (master curve).
NETZSCH offers
precision thermal analysis instruments including advanced dilatometers (with
a new basic R&D/QC dilatometer),
classical DSC & TGA (with
a new economical DSC), high temperature DSC
to 1650°C for specific heat, very high temperature STA
(TGA-DSC/DTA) to 2400°C (featuring the new STA
409-PC Luxx®), thermal
/ evolved gas analysis with fully-integrated FTIR & MS, plus
high resolution TMA and DMA.
We also feature leading technology for thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurement
as well as refractories testing including HMOR, CIC, and RUL.
Temperature range: -170°C to 600°C
