Laser Flash Analyser (LFA)

• The NETZSCH LFA 427 assesses thermal diffusivity and conductivity from RT to 1600^oC
• Measurements in inert gas atmosphere or vacuum
• Capability to analyse a wide range of materials:
  • isotropic and anisotropic with a special sample holder for in-plane measurements
  • insulating and conducting
  • solid and viscous/fluid, and molten salts/low viscosity with a special sample holder. 

Simultaneous Thermal Analysers (STAs)

• The NETZSCH STA 449 F1 and F3 Jupiter STAs measure thermal differentials and weight change from RT to 1600^oC
• The F1 Jupiter has a SiC furnace for analysis in various atmospheres or vacuum
• F3 Jupiter has a Rh furnace for specific heat capacity
• Large capacity thermal gravimetric analysis capabilities
• Capability to study phase transformations e.g. melting, crystallisation and sublimation.

Thermo-Mechanical Dilatometer (DIL)

• The NETZSCH DIL 402C measures the coefficient of thermal expansion from room temperature to 1600^oC and in a controlled atmosphere
• Capability for shrinkage and sintering parameters of powder metallurgy and ceramic materials.

Heat Flow Meter (HFM)

• The NETZSCH HFM 436 measures directly the thermal conductivity and resistance of insulation materials
• Temperature range between -20^oC and 80^oC
• Suitable for square panels of variable thickness (5mm to 50mm)
• Measurements performed according to ASTM C518, ISO 8301, JIS A1412 and DIN EN 12667.

Dynamic Mechanical Analyser (DMA)

• The TA Instruments Q800 DMA tests tension, compression, bending, cantilevering from sub-ambient to 600°C
• It provides accurate control of stress and air bearings for low friction support
• Static or dynamic analysis
• Frequency range of 0.01 to 200Hz for fatigue testing
• Tests in controlled and inert atmosphere.

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

• The TA Instruments Q20 DSC measures the differential heat flow from -70°C to 600°C 
• It also measures material structural changes as a function of time and temperature
• Analysis completed in a controlled / inert atmosphere
• Used in applications requiring the analysis of complex transitions separation, baseline stability and sensitivity.
