Press Release Summary:
Suited for high-throughput thermal expansion (CTE) measurements, modular dilatometer enables multiple furnaces to test various materials over -150 to +1,200°C range. Up to 4 independent samples can be tested simultaneously with unattended operation. In addition to cryogenic and high-temperature furnaces, product is available to test plate-type samples of low thermal conductivity. Direct contact with heating/cooling surface minimizes thermal lag during temperature ramping.

Anter Corporation Develops New Multi-functional Dilatometer
Anter Corporation has developed a very flexible dilatometer for high throughput thermal expansion (CTE) measurements. Using a modular design, multiple furnaces can test a wide variety of materials over a temperature range of -150 to 1200°C. Up to 4 independent samples can be tested at the same time with unattended operation, including overnight runs, for high return on investment.
Besides conventional cryogenic and high temperature furnaces for standard sample sizes according to ASTM methods, a unique furnace is available to test plate-type samples of low thermal conductivity, like polymers and composites, providing direct contact with the heating/cooling surface to reduce thermal lag during temperature ramping.
The easy-to-use Windows(TM)-based operating and data analysis software does not require highly skilled operators or extensive training. The instrument's small footprint requires minimal bench space. And as with all Anter dilatometers, modern absolute digital displacement transducers provide long-stroke, stable, linear, calibration-free performance without the need for a controlled-temperature environment or an external cooling source.
Anter, an ISO 9001 certified company, is a leader in producing thermophysical properties measuring instruments used in determining thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of materials. The company supplies equipment and provides testing services to research and quality assurance laboratories worldwide.
