Get thermal analysis results faster.
A new version of thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include: - Differential scanning calorimetry
- Dynamic mechanical analysis
- Thermomechanical analysis
software used in plastics R&D is said to enhance user productivity with its real-time 1. real-time - Describes an application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process control at a chemical plant is the classic example. reference curve and calculations. Pyris 7.0 from Perkin-Elmer, Inc., Boston, allows users to compare a current measurement against a reference curve during data collection, and the software can execute realtime calculations during sample runs. MultiCurve, another enhancement, can save a view of several data curves in one single file. These can be overlays of different types of thermal-analysis curves such as DSC (1) (Digital Signal Controller) A microcontroller and DSP combined on the same chip. It adds the interrupt-driven capabilities normally associated with a microcontroller to a DSP, which typically functions as a continuous process. See microcontroller and DSP. , TGA See TARGA.

The company also introduced a new method for thermal analysis of polymers that's said to offer unparalleled sensitivity and speed. Its HyperDSC technique heats and cools samples at up to 500[degrees] C/min. It uses the company's Diamond DSC unit, which has two small, low-mass furnaces. Higher speed reportedly yields bettor detection of transitions than with conventional heat-flux systems. Tel: (203) 9254600 * PT Direct: 823EX
