Peak performance on thermal expansion measurements up to 2000°C

The DIL 402 C runs under Proteus® Software on MS Windows®. The Proteus® Software includes everything you need to carry out a measurement and evaluate the resulting data. Through the combination of easy-to-understand menus and automated routines, a tool has been created that is extremely user-friendly and, at the same time, allows sophisticated analysis. The Proteus® software is licensed with the instrument and can of course be installed on other computer systems.

Dilatometer analysis features:

• Plotting of the absolute or relative expansion/shrinkage curves

• Various correction options:
  - correction of the system’s own expansion behavior with either a calibration measurement

• Semi-automatic routines for determination of onset, peak and end temperatures

• Glass transitions and dilatometric softening points

• Analyses in accordance with DIN (German standards)

• Automatic softening point detection

• Derivation of curves for determination of the temperature- or time-dependent linear expansion rates

• Expansion coefficients: calculation and graphic presentation of the technical and physical expansion coefficients

• Analysis of sintering temperatures

• Automatic determination of the shrinkage during a sintering step

• Rate-controlled sintering (RCS) (option)
