Optical Dilatometer to Determine Sintering Behaviour/ Melting Behaviour Determination with Heat Microscope

Thanks to optical dilatometer without any contact the dimensional variations of the specimen, such as thermal expansion and shrinkage can be analyzed during thermal cycles and it will be possible to optimise the industrial firing cycle . 
It is possible to determine the transformation temperatures and observe sintering behaviour of ceramic body during firing.
Sample size should be maximum 15mm*5mm*5mm for optical dilatometer.
Thanks to the automatic heating microscope one or two specimen can be simultenously analyzed during the firing cycles to detect automatically the specimen typical temperatures such as sintering, softening, sphere, half-sphere and melting.
 It is also possible to observe thermal behaviours of all kinds of ceramic bodies including glaze and glass ceramics using optical dilatometer as a heat microscope.
Sample should be prepared 20-30g dried powder for heating microscope analyse.
At room temperature analysis can be performed at maximum 1600°C temperature range and maximum 80 K/min heating/cooling speed.
