| The Thermophysical Properties User Center (TPUC) facilities are used to study thermal stability, thermal expansion, specific heat, transformation temperatures, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity of materials as a function of temperature and/or environment. |
|
Several specialized and unique instruments exist in this user center, and new capabilities can be developed to meet measurement needs for important
national problems.
- Simultaneous Thermal Analysis/Mass Spectrometer (DTA/TG/MS to 1500oC)
- Concurrent Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA to 1700oC)
- Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC to 1500oC)
- Dual Push Rod Dilatometer (CTE to 1600oC)
- Vertical Dilatometer (CTE to 2400oC and bi-layer CTE to 1600oC)
- Auto Pycnometer (density at RT)
Thermal Transport Instruments:
- Laser Flash Thermal Diffusivity System (LFTD: cryogenic to 2500oC)
- Room-Temperature Xenon Flash Thermal Diffusivity Unit
- Infrared Camera
- 3-Omega Thermal Conductivity System
- Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyzer
