Introducing the "DIL806," capable of measuring thermal expansion rates without contact. It is an ideal tool for measuring amorphous and soft samples.

The DIL 806 optical dilatometer is a high-performance thermal expansion and contraction measurement device provided by TA Instruments. By adopting optical measurement principles, this device enables non-contact measurements that were difficult with conventional dilatometers. The DIL 806 uses an absolute measurement process that is not affected by the expansion or contraction of the testing apparatus itself, eliminating the need to correct measurement results for different temperature programs. This device irradiates a wide planar light onto the sample using high-performance LEDs and detects the shadow of the sample with a high-resolution CCD sensor. A digital edge detection processor evaluates this signal, accurately and sensitively measuring the dimensional changes of the sample in response to temperature variations. The DIL 806 is ideal for measuring materials such as metals and plastics, and thin samples can be easily analyzed using a dedicated sample holder. The furnace allows for rapid heating up to 100°C/min and rapid cooling from 1400°C to 50°C in under 10 minutes. This enables efficient analysis of dynamic processes and tests that include multiple temperature steps.

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.

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.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

This is an introduction to the "DIL802/802L," which is skilled in dynamic temperature programs used for shrinkage rate control sintering (RCS) and measurements in low-temperature regions.

The DIL 802 is a device that achieves true differential measurement, providing the highest measurement accuracy. By measuring only the difference between the sample and the reference material, it eliminates the effects of system expansion. This design is particularly beneficial for dynamic temperature programs and measurements at low temperatures. The DIL 802 is suitable for measurements in vacuum or inert gas, while the DIL 802L is specialized for measurements in air. The horizontally arranged furnace ensures temperature uniformity and eliminates the effects of air convection. A high-sensitivity LVDT is used to accurately measure even minute thermal expansion events.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

Introducing the "DIL801," which allows measurements in air, vacuum, and inert gas purge, and the "DIL801L," which is ideal for evaluating the properties of ceramic materials.

The DIL 801 is an ideal device for measuring the thermal expansion of a single sample. It allows measurements in vacuum or inert gas environments, while the DIL 801L is specialized for measurements in air. This makes it suitable for evaluating the properties of ceramic materials. The horizontally arranged furnace ensures temperature uniformity and eliminates the effects of air convection. A high-sensitivity LVDT is used to accurately measure even minute thermal expansion events. Key features: - Measurement of linear dimensional changes over a wide temperature range - Capable of measurements in vacuum, inert gas, and air - Accurate displacement measurement with high-sensitivity LVDT - Ensures temperature uniformity with a horizontally arranged furnace - Compatible with various furnaces and easily interchangeable - Accurate temperature measurement with thermocouples or pyrometers - The measurement system can be composed of materials such as quartz glass, alumina, sapphire, graphite, and tungsten.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

We will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2026" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka from October 14 (Wednesday) to 16 (Friday). We will have a working model of a "small winch" powered by an electric driver equipped with our uniquely developed self-locking reduction mechanism "shoji-lock," and we will set up a corner where you can experience the actual lifting and lowering of workpieces. Please stop by. (Hall A, Booth Number AS-57)

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.
