Thermal/Mechanical Testing

Accolade Engineering Solutions (AES)

As new products employ advanced materials and processes, the need to measure and characterize those material properties becomes increasingly important. DSC is used to measure heat flow in to or out of a material. Some DSC applications include measurement of melting temperature, polymorphic transitions, crystallization temperature, thermal stability, heat of fusion and degree of cure. TMA is used to measure dimensional changes of a material as a function of temperature.
