High-temperature calorimeter DSC

continuousdifferential scanning

DSC is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. DSC can be used to measure a number of characteristic properties of materials. Using this technique it is possible to observe fusion and crystallization events as well as glass transition temperatures and can be also used to study oxidation, as well as other chemical reactions. It is widely used in industrial settings as a quality control instrument due to its applicability in evaluating sample purity and for studying polymer curing. Basically, Rigaku has the lineup of two kinds of heat-flex DSC meeting market needs: standard type and high-temperature type. The standard DSC has further an extensive lineup of cooling systems. We can set maximum 24 samples and aside from continuous measurements, it can also perform single measurement as well as interrupt-a-sequence measurement. Features High sensitivity, high performance and low noise, realized by a compact furnace Quick gas substitution enabled by compact furnace Remarkable heating and cooling rates that enhance the efficiency of measurement Safety is emphasized on the entire system Measuring temperature range DSC 8231: -150° to 725° (max. 750°) An optional cooling unit is used for temperatures below ambient Inert gas flow is required for temperatures above 500° DSC 8271: Ambient to 1500°
