Systematics of dynamic mechanical analysis (OMA)

The OMA or DMTA is used to determine elastic-viscous characteristic values, i.e. the consistency as a function of temperature [° C] and vibration [Hz] (dynamic load).

The main application of the OMA is the determination of glass interfaces, the dynamic characteristic values E', E" tan /1 and dimensional changes.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) system

The TGA, also known as a thermobalance, provides a weight value in correlation with temperature and time.

The main application is the analysis of mixture components and the detection of incorrect weights and incorrect mixtures.

Systematics of dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC)

DSC is used to determine thermal effects that occur or are released during a material transformation.
(physical or chemical nature)

The main application of DSC is the determination of melting point [Tm], glass temperature [Tg], specific heat capacities and oxidative ageing effects.
