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.
