ELS-MDF: Microscope, Dilatometer, Fleximeter

ELS-MDF is the new contact-less optical thermal analysis instrument able to reproduce industrial heating cycles, by unifying the following measurement techniques:

• Heating Microscope. 
• Fusibility (ceramic raw materials, glazes, frits, ashes, glasses);
•  
• Optical Dilatometer. 
• Coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, volume variation, sintering behaviour beyond the the softening point;
•  
• Optical Fleximeter. 
• Piroplasticity and the state of tension between layered materials.

The instrument reproduces a real industrial firing cycle:

• Up to 80°C/min
• Up to 1600°C (other options available)
• With shock cooling
