Materials Characterization

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

The Perkin Elmer TMA 7 Thermomechanical Analyzer (TMA) is a computer-controlled laboratory instrument for use in a broad range of application areas. The TMA 7 permits the measurement of dimensional and viscoelastic changes as a function of temperature or time. Typical applications include coefficient of expansion, softening point, glass transition determinations, and modulus measurements.

The temperature range of the TMA 7 is -60oC to 500oC.
