The Optical Dilatometer is the best instrument to study the sinterization and to determine the best firing cycle avoiding any risk of damage thanks its optical technology.
Take advantage of the Optical Dilatometer to study of the interval of stability of a ceramic body avoiding the risk of bloating.
Take advantage of the Optical Fleximeter to study the piroplasticity of the ceramic body, which is its tendency to deform under its own weight.
The heating Microscope can indentify the softening temperature, which must be suitable for the ceramic firing cycle.
The studies run thanks to the Optical Dilatometer can match those run taking advantage of the Optical Fleximeterto determine the state of tension in final products.
The heating Microscope can identify the softening and the melting point. It is really useful to study the fusibility of both raw materials and glazes
Both the refracotry kiln and the heating elements are designed to heat and cool in the short time. The laboratory techincians can use also an electric fan to cool the instrument.
ELS-MDF can run up to five dilatometry tests per day thanks to the optical system and the heating equipment.
ELS-MDF Heating Microscope can run up to four simultaneous analyses.
