New technologies in aeronautics and astronautics, machine and automobile
design, as well as in ceramics, result in ever-higher demands on the
analytical instruments. This was the impetus for the development
of the new NETZSCH DSC 404 C Pegasus®
for determination of the thermodynamic properties of high-performance
materials.
The DSC 404 C Pegasus®
can be equipped with three unique user-exchangeable furnace systems,
allowing measurements to be conducted over the temperature range of
-120 to 1650°C. Because of the one-of-a-kind heating element design
and the positive furnace placement via the motor-driven furnace hoist,
all three furnaces yield extremely stable and reproducible baselines,
allowing measurement of the quantitative specific heat with exceptional
accuracy.
The high level of flexibility provided by the user-exchangeable furnace
systems is further enhanced with interchangeable measuring heads for
DTA, DSC and specific heat measurements for different areas of application.
The unique design of these heads, which includes positive crucible placement
and specially-coated radiation shields, permits the quantitative determination
of specific heat, transformation enthalpies and temperatures, etc. In
addition, a newly developed micrometer adjustment system allows fast,
easy and accurate optimization of the baseline after exchange of the
measuring head.
With its robust construction and rotational symmetry, the new DSC sensor,
designed especially for specific heat measurements at high temperatures,
combines long-term mechanical stability and reduced influence from operational
inconsistencies.
Software-controlled options for evacuation and gas change, as well as
predefined analyses via the macro recorder extend automatic operation
beyond the actual measurement and save considerable amounts of time
in routine laboratory operation.
With the new DSC 404 C Pegasus®,
NETZSCH offers the users of thermal analysis a solution with a secure
future that exceeds today's demands.
For determination of: specific heat, melting temperatures,
transition enthalpies, phase transformations, phase diagrams, crystallization
temperatures, degree of crystallinity, glass transition temperatures,
decomposition effects, reaction kinetics, purity.
