Netzsch - DMA 242 C
Manufactured by Netzsch
Dynamic mechanical multi-talent for visco-elastic properties
The DMA 242 C has been replaced by the DMA 242 E Artemis
The versatility of the DMA 242 C is particularly clear from the variety of sample holders.
Depending on the type and consistency of your sample, you can investigate the visco-elastic properties accurately over a wide modulus range. In addition to the common types of deformation, i.e. 3-point bending, single and dual cantilever bending, compression/penetration, shearing and tension, we also have a series of special sample holders available: e.g. for extremely stiff composite materials and metals or for combination with a dielectric analyzer (DEA) for curing studies.
The DMA 242 C operates in the broad temperature range of -170 to 600°C. The low-temperature range is achieved with the proven, low-consumption CC 200 L liquid nitrogen cooling system. The minimal temperature gradient over a sample length of up to 60 mm in the bending mode is unique.
The digital filtering via Fourier analysis yields an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, which means that even the smallest tand values can be resolved. Comprehensive, multi-dimensional calibration of the DMA system guarantees reproducible test results for the stiffness and damping (visco-elastic) behavior of your sample.
