Expert System Solutions: Thermal Analysis by Optical advanced laboratory equipment

Modena, Italy (ots) - Discover MISURA® product line: the only lab
equipment which allow the technicians to get a more complete
characterization of the analysed materials!

Expert System Solutions is the key company for the continuous
development of new technologies applied to Thermal Analysis during
the past 20 years. Expert System Solutions patented the first double
beam Optical Dilatometer on first years of 2000! Nowadays, Expert
System Solutions is the world leader for Optical Analysis Systems and
its product line is composed by:

Optical Dilatometers, which carry out thermo mechanical
measurements, determining the thermal expansion or sintering
behaviour of several materials, even up to their complete melting.
Unlike traditional mechanical dilatometers where the sample is
contained inside a measuring system which itself expands with
temperature and it is necessary to apply a calibration curve, our
optical equipment are able to measure the absolute expansion of
samples thanks to the double beam optical system, and allow to
realize precise measurements even on very low CTE materials.

Heating Microscopes, which study the melting and fusion behaviour
during a heating process and determines automatically flattening
curve and characteristic temperatures (like softening, sphere, half
sphere and fusion) of different materials: glass, frits, glazes, raw
materials in traditional and advanced ceramics, organic and inorganic
ashes. With the twofold purpose to fit the standard equipment with
norms specifications for test specimens and to increase the number of
samples simultaneously tested, a new model has been designed, so the
technician can now set up four tests at the same time and perform
flash test measurement.

Optical Fleximeter, is the last developed equipment and it
represents the latest solution to study the lack of compatibility
between the glaze surface and the ceramic substrate in glazed bodies.
It represents a valid solution to the residual stresses measurement
and it is able to study the pyroplasticity, which is particularly
important for bodies that have to be completely sintered because
during the final stage of firing they develop an abundant vitreous
phase with a sufficiently low viscosity to cause rapid deformation of
the material. Nowadays the Optical Fleximeter is the only equipment
able to help into the design and optimisation of these technological
aspects.

DTA for studying exothermic and endothermic reaction of the
materials. One of the most interesting and innovative functions of
this instrument is the possibility of carrying out Differential
Thermal Analysis on samples obtained by pressing, casting or cutting
from industrial pieces, without using any crucible. Thermal
expansion, sintering, piroplasticity and DTA analysis can be
performed on specimens all prepared with the same methodology and
subjected to the same thermal cycle. By doing so, the curves are
perfectly comparable on either time-base and temperature-base

Our Technical and R&D Department, with the continuous purpose to
meet customers' needs with the latest technology available and
customized solutions, continue to develop one of the most effective
and helpful tool for technicians working in a wide range of
industrial fields We offer also contract analysis and R&D service for
Thermal Analysis and a software for the management of the ceramic
production.
