Optical thermal expansion measuring instrument for demanding research and development and manufacturing technology labs.

The "ODP 868," a result of over 20 years of research and development on optical testing devices for analyzing the thermomechanical behavior of materials, enables sample analysis that surpasses the limitations of conventional heating microscopes. With its multifunctionality, the ODP 868 is a highly innovative tool suitable for optimizing industrial processes related to manufacturing, research and development, and thermal cycles. The heating microscope mode uses a 5Mpix high-resolution camera to analyze the physical behavior of materials during industrial firing cycles. Through practical morphometrics, it calculates and visualizes various characteristic temperatures and parameters selected by the user in real-time during analysis. The ODP 868 can analyze samples of a wide range of shapes and sizes (for example, measuring 3mm and 10mm samples simultaneously) and can analyze up to 8 ISO standard-sized samples at the same time.

Introducing the "DIL802/802L," capable of high-precision dual sample measurement.

The DIL 803 is a dual-sample dilatometer that maximizes productivity by measuring two samples simultaneously. It can measure in vacuum or inert gas environments, while the DIL 803L is specialized for measurements in air. The horizontally arranged furnace ensures uniform temperature and eliminates the effects of air convection. A high-sensitivity LVDT is used to accurately measure even minute thermal expansion events.

Measurement of thermal expansion in the vertical direction is possible! The highest sensitivity is guaranteed by a high-resolution inductive sensor (LVDT).

The DIL820 series (DIL 821/822) is a high-precision vertical dilatometer belonging to the DIL 820 series from TA Instruments. These models are equipped with a new optical encoder that has a resolution of 1nm, making them particularly suitable for the analysis of challenging samples. The DIL 822 employs true differential measurement technology, providing the best sensitivity and accuracy for CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) in the market.

This is the lecture material posted on YouTube ~Rheology: Basic Edition 1~. It is available for free download, so please feel free to make use of it.

Data Content This is a PDF version of the lecture materials from YouTube, converted for better readability. The video consists of a total of 12 pages and provides easy-to-understand explanations for beginners on the following topics: - What is rheology? - What is viscoelasticity? - About measurement modes. I think it might be difficult to understand just from the lecture materials, so please also refer to the YouTube videos below.

Recently, fine bubbles, which are tiny bubbles smaller than 100 μm and are referred to as "fine bubbles," have attracted attention in various fields such as the environment, agriculture, food, fisheries, and medicine, due to their ability to impart various functions to liquids. Fine bubbles are classified into two types based on their size: microbubbles and ultrafine bubbles. Recently, there has been a growing interest in ultrafine bubbles, which have a lifespan of several weeks to months. However, listening to the voices of researchers and users reveals some skepticism, which has become one of the issues hindering the spread of fine bubble technology. On the other hand, we have challenged the elucidation of the stabilization mechanism of ultrafine bubbles from a new perspective by enabling the control of number density exceeding 10 billion particles/mL without pressure or concentration operations using our ultrafine bubble generation technology. In this seminar, we will provide a fundamental explanation of fine bubble technology, including the basic physical properties, characteristics and functions, device technology, measurement and evaluation methods, and case studies, to promote research and utilization of fine bubbles based on a correct understanding.

Sekiguchi Iron Works Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "Minami-Shinshu Environmental Messe 2025" held at S-Bird in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. This exhibition will be held simultaneously with the "Environmental Industry Trade Fair" taking place the day before. It will be held over the weekend, with many family-friendly events planned. We encourage those who usually find it difficult to visit to take this opportunity to come. Our product exhibition area is located about 10 minutes from the venue. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
