Our state-of-the-art laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge instruments to perform comprehensive thermal and mechanical analyses. We offer a wide range of testing services to analyze materials’ chemical and physical properties under controlled temperature conditions.
Thermal Analysis Techniques
We specialize in the following thermal analysis methods:
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
This method measures the change in mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time. It provides crucial data for:
- Decomposition reactions
- Oxidation reactions
- Evaporation processes
- Volatile content and additive detection
- Thermal stability
The TGA instrument includes:
- An ultra-sensitive analytical balance (1 mg to 100 g range)
- An oven with a temperature range from 23°C to 1100°C
- Precision temperature control and monitoring systems
- Adjustable heating rates from 0 to 200°C/min
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
DSC monitors the heat flow difference between a sample and a reference substance during heating. It helps in determining:
- Specific heat capacity (Cp)
- Glass transition temperature (Tg)
- Melting and crystallization temperatures (Tm, Ts)
- Oxidative and thermal stability
- Kinetic reaction rates
This method is widely used for polymer characterization and phase transitions in materials.
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
DMA assesses the elastic and viscous properties of materials as a function of temperature and time. It provides insights into:
- Elastic and viscous moduli
- Damping factor (energy dissipation)
- Material behavior under cyclic loads
This technique is ideal for polymers and other viscoelastic materials, helping determine their mechanical resilience and energy absorption capacity.
Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
Our UTM is a versatile tool for mechanical testing of both metallic and non-metallic materials. It automatically calculates:
- Tensile strength
- Compression strength
- Hardness
- Elongation at break
- Modulus of elasticity
Equipped with various accessories, the UTM is suited for a wide range of applications, providing reliable mechanical property data for different materials.
