This double-furnace Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) directly measures the amount of energy absorbed or released by a sample upon heating, cooling or held at constant temperature. The heat flow to and from the sample is measured as a function of temperature and time. This technique is used to determine material properties such as melting points, crystallization temperatures, glass transition temperatures and phase transition temperatures. The system includes a Controlled Liquid Nitrogen Accessory (CLN2 - Part No: N5340031, Serial No: 534N1042523), the Pyris analysis software (V13.4), and a Universal Crimper Press (Part No: B0139005) for sample preparation.
Temperature range: -180⁰C to 750⁰C
Accuracy: ±0.05⁰C
Precision: ±0.008⁰C
Data points per second: 33
Controlled heating rates: 0.01 to 300⁰C/min
Controlled cooling rates: 0.01 to 150⁰C/min
Standard purge gas: Instrument Grade nitrogen
(NOTE: for CLN2 operating temperatures below -130⁰C Instrument Grade helium must be used as the sample holder purge gas)
Available pans/covers for sample preparation:
Standard aluminium sample pans and covers (Part No: 02190041)
Volatile aluminium sample pans and covers (Part No: B0169321)
Stainless steel pans, covers and O-rings (Part No: 03190218)
(NOTE: aluminium sample pans and covers must not be used above 600⁰C because of proximity to the melting point of aluminium)
