Dilatometer DIL L76

The main application field for the L76 Dilatometer series is the CTE measurement in the Ceramics, Brick, Tile, Porcelain and building materials industry. Furthermore it is widely used for quality control purposes in ceramics and in metal industries.

The instrument covers a wide temperature range from RT up to 1000, 1400 and 1600°C with user exchangeable furnaces. It consists of measurement systems made out of quartz glass (up to 1100°C) and Al2O3 up to 1600°C. The sensor is a highest precision LVDT (linear variable differential transformer). This sensor has an indefinite resolution.

Together with the 32 Bit software package WIN-TA / WIN-DIL, the Dilatometer provides an excellent solution for standard quality control type CTE measurements.

The following physical properties can be measured:

CTE, Linear Thermal Expansion, Alpha Physical, Sintering Temperature, Phase Transformations, Softening Points, Decomposition Temperatures, Glass Transition Temperatures
