APPLICATIONS

  • Cold Crystallization Behavior of PET
  • The crystal growth and degree of crystallization depend on the polymer type, cooling rate, or isothermal aging time. The calculation method for crystallization enthalpy is the same as that for melting enthalpy. Cold crystallization is the process of crystal growth during heating. This exothermic event precedes crystal melting.
  • Glass Transition Analysis
  • The glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymers refers to the temperature range at which they transition from a rigid "glassy" state to a flexible "rubbery" state, significantly affecting their usability, particularly in elastomers. Understanding Tg is crucial for quality control, process optimization, ensuring product performance, and maintaining material consistency.
  • Phase Transformation of Nickel-Titanium Alloys
  • The Af temperature refers to the phase transition temperature of nickel-titanium alloys, marking the transformation from the high-temperature phase (a-phase) to the low-temperature phase (f-phase). In the high-temperature phase, the crystal structure of nickel-titanium alloy exhibits a cubic system, while in the lowtemperature phase it transforms into a monoclinic system. This phase transition temperature change gives nickel-titanium alloys their shape memory properties. These shape memory characteristics enable important applications across various fields, such as medical devices, aerospace, and mechanical engineering.

ACCESSORIES

  • Crucibles
  • Crucibles serve as sample containers in thermal analysis measurements, effectively protecting sensors and preventing measurement contamination. The selection of crucible type is critical for result quality. We offer various crucible options to meet different testing requirements, ensuring accurate and reliable measurement results.
  • Pellet Press
  • The crucible pellet press elevates sample encapsulation to higher performance and convenience, suitable for routine and hermetic testing of various materials. The standard model is specifically designed for solid sample crucibles, while the universal model handles both solid and liquid sample crucibles, offering greater flexibility for your experiments.
  • Fully Automated Chiller
  • The fully automated recirculating bath enables precise continuous temperature control within the range of -10°C to 90°C. When coupled with the water-cooled DSC 600 system, it achieves rapid furnace cooling, significantly enhancing experimental efficiency.
  • Gas Selector Accessory
  • The gas selector supports one-button switching across multiple gases, accommodating up to 4 input ports. It simplifies valve disassembly and assembly when sampling different gases, effectively minimizing leakage risks associated with manual handling. Additionally, the instrument features an automatic purging process, ensuring efficient gas line purification and seamless, automated switching between gases.

PDSC

  • Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter
  • The Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter (PDSC) is capable of conducting calorimetric tests under both high and low-pressure conditions. In practical applications, many raw materials and finished products are processed or used under high temperature and high pressure, making it essential to understand their performance under these extreme conditions. While traditional calorime-ters are effective in characterizing the physical and chemical properties of materials, the PDSC extends this characterization to extreme pressure environments. It allows for an in-depth analysis of the heat flow changes during phase transitions and chemical reactions under high or low pressure.
  • In a sealed crucible, changes in internal pressure can cause DSC test results to differ from those obtained under atmospheric pressure. The PDSC enables precise pressure control, which allows researchers to investigate the effects of varying pressures on samples and uncover thermal behavior differences in different environments. For material research in extreme test conditions, the PDSC offers superior capabilities in characterizing heat changes during reaction processes.
  • At the core of the PDSC is a high-performance heat flow sensor platform, specifically designed to study minute energy changes and the relationship between energy, temperature, and pressure.
