Dilatometer
Dilatometry / Expansion Measurement / Dilatometer (DIL)
Linseis produces a wide range of Single-, Dual-, Differential-, Quattro-, Quenching-, Laser- and Optical Dilatometer in a temperature range from -263°C up to 2800°C and a resolution up to 0.3 nm. Thanks to our years of experience (est. 1953), Linseis offers Dilatometers with an unbeaten performance.
Dilatometers are frequently used for R&D and quality control of solids, liquids, powders and pastes to determine their:
- determination of thermal expansion coefficient (CTE)
- linear thermal expansion (ΔL)
- sinter-temperatures and sinter steps
- determination of glass transition (Tg)
- phase changes
- optimization of burning processes
- volume changes
- Rate Controlled Sintering (RCS)
- decomposition
- density change
Dilatometry (DIL) is a technique in which a dimension of a substance under negligible load is measured (e.g. expansion measurement or shrinkage measurement) as a function of temperature while the substance is subjected to a controlled temperature program in a specified atmosphere.

Horizontal vs. Vertical Design
Horizontal arrangement
- Easy and robust design at a modest price
- Perfect choice for mid temperature range
- Easy sample handling
- Customized Dilatometers for huge samples available
Horizontal Design
Vertical Design
Vertical arrangement
- Zero friction design (sample is only in contact with the end knob and the pushrod)
- Multi-furnace arrangement (up to three furnaces)
- to cover entire temperature range from -180 to 2800°C especially ideal for low and
very high temperatures - to increase throughput (hot furnace can be lifted automatically to switch to new cold furnace and start new measurement)
- to cover entire temperature range from -180 to 2800°C especially ideal for low and
- perfect for low temperature measurements (furnace on the bottom – measurement compartment on top) to ensure natural gas path, cold air (falls down) below sensor compartment
- perfect for high temperature measurements (furnace on top – measurement compartment below) to ensure natural gas path, hot air (streams up) above sensor compartment
- Small footprint and Small lab space requirements
- Available as single-, differential/double- and quattro arrangement (1, 2 or 4 samples at the same time)
