SETSYS Evolution is the standard for high performance TG, TG-DSC and TG-DTA application. It is based on a complete modular thermal analysis platform for:
The key to the SETSYS TMA is the vertical design of its displacement transducer.
TMA displacement transducer
The key to the SETSYS TMA is its vertical design. The TMA probe is held by the electronic suspension so that:
In such a configuration the SETSYS TMA can detect very small dimensional changes and there is no need of long sample for accurate measurements.

For measuring variations in size of solids or powders, the SETSYS TMA is used for characterizing polymers and compounds (softening, glass transition, degradation, reticulation) under varied stresses, for studying films and fibers, for sintering ceramics, for studying the thermal behavior of alloys and more generally for measuring coefficients of expansion.
