The LINSEIS STA\/DIL L80<\/b> combines simultaneous thermal analysis and vertical dilatometry in an extremely flexible measurement platform. The system combines the proven features of the STA L81<\/strong><\/a> and the DIL L75 Vertical<\/strong><\/a> , enabling comprehensive characterization of thermal effects, mass changes, and dimensional changes in a single laboratory setup. <\/p>

Both measuring stations are arranged side by side and can be operated with interchangeable furnace systems. Depending on the application, the selected furnace can be moved to either the STA or the dilatometer measuring position. This design offers exceptional flexibility while reducing the need for separate furnace configurations and laboratory infrastructure. <\/p>

With measurement functions such as TG, DSC, DTA, TG-DSC, TG-DTA, and dilatometry<\/b>, temperatures up to 2800 \u00b0C<\/b>, vacuum operation, and controlled atmospheres, the STA\/DIL L80 provides a comprehensive platform for research, development, and quality control of metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, and advanced materials.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
