MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

  • DMTA Instrument

    DMTA instrument is used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of materials (especially polymers) as a function of temperature, frequency and applied force. It allows to understand how a material responds to varying deforming forces and temperatures, revealing transitions such as glass transition.

  • JSR DPR300 (35 MHz) High Power Ultrasonic Pulse Generator/Receiver JSR DPR300 (35 MHz)

    JSR DPR300 (35 MHz) High Power Ultrasonic Pulse Generator/Receiver JSR DPR300 (35 MHz)

  • Piezoelectric and immersion ultrasonic transducers

    High sensitivity, high bandwidth piezoelectric air-coupled ultrasonic transducers with center frequency 250 kHz and 650 kHz with 25 mm and 20 mm circular flat section to BNC. Immersion ultrasonic transducers with center frequency 1MHz and element diameters 0.75''. Straight encapsulation and waterproof UHF connection (A314S-SU, Olympus).

  • Powder and Fluid Rheometer Anton Paar MCR 302e

    This equipment is used to measure the rheological properties of materials, i.e. how they flow and deform under the action of a force. It allows the characterization of viscosity, elasticity and other properties of powders, solids and liquids, crucial for process and product design in various industries.

  • Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers

    These hardness testers are used to measure the hardness of materials, an indicator of their resistance to plastic deformation. The Rockwell hardness tester measures the depth of penetration of an indenter, while the Brinell measures the diameter of an indentation left by a ball, each suitable for different types of materials and applications.
