Certain materials exhibit changes in their thermomechanical properties as they undergo temperature fluctuations. Understanding how materials expand or contract due to temperature shifts is crucial for manufacturers striving to deliver durable and reliable products. Linseis offers cutting-edge thermomechanical analyzers, designed for laboratory use, to precisely measure these physical transformations across a wide range of materials. Our thermomechanical services provide users with dependable measurements to guide their product development process. These instruments find applications in research and development, as well as quality control. Materials often subjected to such testing include plastics, metals, glass, and composites.

For expansion measurements using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), a probe gently rests on the sample while a stage exerts minimal downward pressure. Additionally, TMA facilitates various constant force experiments, including the measurement of penetration, bending, tension, shrinkage, swelling, and creep (evaluating sample movement over time under an applied load).

The TMA Platinum Series features a robust and dependable furnace, custom-designed to ensure rapid heating and cooling, as well as precise heating rate control across the entire temperature range.
