Description of
the TMA 2940
The Thermomechanical Analyzer 2940 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 melt-
ing points, glass transition temperature, expan-
sion coefficients, gel time and temperature, resin
flow, and delamination temperature can be
obtained by the sensitive measuring system of
the TMA 2940.
