Thermomechanical Analyzer TMA 450, TA Instruments (CAT#: STEM-LE-1369-LC)

Thermomechanical Analyzer TMA 450 offers information about the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE), shrinkage, softening, glass transition temperatures of materials. The advanced options can be used to get viscoelastic properties such as the stiffness (Modulus), damping properties (tan delta), creep and stress relaxation of materials. The TMA 450 is suitable for measurement of material properties, particularly in manufactured components or assemblies where compatibility of materials is very important.

Temperature Range:-150 to 1,000 °C
Sensitivity:15 nm

Non-contact, friction-free motor provides forces from 0.001 N to 2 N, allowing measurements on the most broad range of samples from soft compressible elastomers to stiff composite materials.
Wide-range, high-resolution measurement transducer holds sample lengths up to 26 mm, a measurement range of ±2.5 mm with resolution lower to 15 nm for a precise measurement of dimensional change.
Modulated TMA (MTMA™), Dynamic TMA, Creep and Stress Relaxation extend capabilities and provide users with even more valuable information on the mechanical behavior of materials.
Convenient Mechanical Cooling Accessory (MCA 70) provides controlled cooling to -70°C without liquid nitrogen.
Powerful TRIOS software provides instrument control, data analysis, and reporting funtion in a integrated package to decrease training times and increase productivity to new levels.
Every instrument incorporates a commitment to quality backed by the five-year furnace warranty.
