Dilatometry (DIL)

DIL 402 E/7 & E/8

 

Pyro - Vacuum-tight, horizontal pushrod dilatometer

 

Reliable thermal expansion measurements up to 2800°C

 

The DIL 402 E dilatometer can be operated to 2400°C (E/7) or 2800°C (E/8) with the appropriate graphite furnace; optical pyrometers are applied for temperature measurement and control. In this mode, high-temperature resistant samples are tested in glass carbon sample holders under inert atmosphere or vacuum.

 

Operation to 2000°C is also possible with this dilatometer using thermocouples for temperature measurement and control. Graphite materials, high-temperature ceramics and refractory metals are among the application areas for this versatile, modular high-temperature dilatometer.
