DSC 404C Pegasus calorimeter (Netzsch)

Show
Enables
  • DTA – differential thermal analysis
  • DSC – differential scanning calorimetry
  • DSC-CP – differential scanning calorimetry with the possibility of determination of specific heat capacity
operating temperature -150°C to 1500°C
atmosphere backing vacuum and argon atmosphere
capacity of crucibles (PtRh,Al2O3) max. 85 ml
heating/cooling rate (K/min) 0,1 – 50
operation modes isothermal and/or linear heating/cooling

The DTA and DSC measurements enable:

  • identification and analysis of phase transformations occurring in a solid and liquid state
  • determination of characteristic temperatures of phase transformations
  • determination of temperature dependence of the specific heat
  • determination of heat (enthalpy) of phase transformations in a solid and liquid state
  • determination of kinetic parameters of phase transformations in a solid and liquid state
  • determination of temperature dependence of thermo-physical properties of metals, alloys and ceramic materials, which is helpful in computer simulation of the processes of solidification and self-cooling , and important in casting practice
