Efficient Testing with a Reliable Evaluation Method

High test force precision, provided by a weight-based constant test force loading system, enables high measurement reproducibility andtest efficiency. In addition to increased operability to improve testing efficiency, accurate temperature measurement and stable control areprovided through a reliable temperature control system.

Evaluation of Softening and Flow Beginning TemperatureUsing Constant Heating Rate Testing

Testing methods include a constant temperature method a constant heating rate method. The constant heating ratemethod permits measurement of resin softening temperature and flow beginning temperature to determine shearrate and viscosity at each temperature and cannot be conducted using other capillary type rheometers.

Viscosity Evaluation of Thermosetting Resin

Weight-based constant test force extrusion is used to measure the amount of piston movement (movementspeed), which is used to determine viscosity. Highly reproducible measurements of fluidity of thermosettingresins, which cure rapidly due to heating, can be determined due to the highly precise temperature control andthe range of test forces available.

Improved Efficiency

Enhanced labor-savings have been implemented throughout the entire testing process, from setting of the sample and starting the testto output of the test results. All of this greatly increases the efficiency of production procession, quality control, and research anddevelopment testing.

DSC-60 Plus addresses a variety of DSC applications

The DSC-60 Plus is an indispensable thermal analyzer for materialscharacterization in R&D and quality control applications in such areas aspolymers, pharmaceuticals, electronic parts , foods , etc. It offers thesensitivity and easy operation required for the development ofhigh-performance, highly functional new materials

High-sensitivity analysis across the entire measured temperature range

The new detector and furnace unit of the DSC-60 Plus series assure a stable baseline throughout the entire range of temperatures measured (-140to 600 °C). Throughout the broad range of temperatures necessary in order to evaluate a wide variety of materials, complicated changes in thecalorimetric value are accurately detected. This allows a DSC to offer high sensitivity and high resolution. The range of calorimetric values measuredhas been expanded nearly threefold (compared with previous Shimadzu models) to ±150 mW. As a result, a dynamic range that is quite suf!cienteven for evaluations of the reactions of chemical substances exhibiting large calorimetric changes is now secured.

Simultaneous TG/DTA improves ease ofoperation, sensitivity and analytical accuracy ofconventional standalone systems

If flexibility and high performance is needed the new DTG-60/60Hcombines them all. Basic functions required by simultaneous thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) measurements are improved. Atmosphere control is programmable. As in DSC, LabSolutions TA provides advanced acquisition, analysis and report functions which ensure comfortable simultaneous measurements.

Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analysis?

Particle size distribution can be calculated using the light intensity distribution pattern of scattered light which is generated from sample particles when laser irradiates them.
This is the main particle size analysis method because it has excellent properties such as a wide measurement range, a short measurement time, and the ability to measure both wet and dry samples.
Please refer to page 19 for the measurement principle.
