TMA 2940 CE 5–3
Description of
the TMA 2940 CE
The Thermomechanical Analyzer 2940 CE is
capable of heating or cooling samples while
applying a predetermined force on the material.
A quartz probe, placed in contact with the
sample, is used to determine any linear or
volumetric changes in dimension, at the selected
temperature and force. Valuable data on melting
points, glass transition temperature, expansion
coefficients, gel time and temperature, resin
flow, and delamination temperature can be
obtained by the sensitive measuring system of
the TMA 2940 CE.
