Quartz dilatometer with the electric capacity sensor
Areas of applications:
Physics of Solids, Mechanics, Physics of Phase Transitions 

Dilatometer is designed for measurements of changes in linear sizes for solid samples and determination of their coefficients of thermal linear expansion. The working principle of the dilatometer consists in the measurements of the temperature-induced changes of linear sizes of solid samples. Variation of the temperature on heating or cooling is controlled with a computer. 
 

Technical specifications:
  • Sensitivity: 1nm
  • Sample sizes: height 0.5-15mm
  • Temperature ranges: [-190  +80]°C and [+20 +1000]°C
  • Temperature rates: [0.1 5]°C/min. 
  • Accuracy for temperature stabilization: 0.05°C:
  • Accuracy for temperature measurements: 0.01°C
  • Accuracy relative linear expansion measurements:  ~10-6
  • Computer operational system: WIN/98/2000/XP
