DIL L75 HP High Pressure Dilatometer

Expansion measurements under temperature and pressure

Description

On point

The Linseis high pressure dilatometer DIL L75 HP enables completely new applications in thermal analysis. The system can measure expansions (length changes) in the temperature range from RT up to 1100/1400/1800°C and in the pressure range up to 100/150 bar.

The high pressure dilatometer is the world’s only available instrument for thermal expansion under high-pressure. A steam generator and camplex gas control system are optional available.

And get even more informations and extend your measeurement, an analysis of the effluent gases can be done by using a QMS or FTIR system at any time. But the coupling is more than only the sum of the separate parts. You can benefit from LINSEIS coupling knowledge and integrated hard- and software concept. For the interpretation of the results, different libraries are available.

Applications

Application example: Rock – Crystal (Calculated DTA)

The thermal expansion of rock crystal can be easily evaluated with the L75 Dilatometer. The additional DTA feature enables an in depth view of the thermal behavior of the material. The DTA measurement is a mathematical routine based on the sample temperature.

Exo- and endothermic effects influence the change of the sample temperature during the dynamic heating or cooling cycle. At app. 575°C the phase transition from takes place. The deviation of the measured temperature from the literature value (574°C) can be used for a temperature calibration.

Application example

The linear thermal expansion (delta L) and the CTE of the sample under argon atmosphere are evaluated. The heating rate was 5K/min. After 736.3°C (peak temperature of CTE) shrinkage was detected, this is due to a change in the atomic structure, known as the curie-point. The difference of measured and literature result can be attributed to contamination of the sample.
