A horizontal dilatometer is a precision instrument used to measure dimensional changes in materials as a function of temperature, essential in fields like materials science, metallurgy, and ceramics. The working principle involves placing a sample between two fixed points and subjecting it to controlled temperature changes, with a high-precision sensor detecting the resulting expansions or contractions. This data is then analyzed to determine the material’s thermal expansion coefficient. Horizontal dilatometers are used for material characterization, quality control, research and development, and thermal energy analysis. They offer high precision, versatility, and ease of use, making them ideal for detailed material analysis. When combined with a thermal energy analyser, they provide comprehensive insights into a material’s thermal properties, including heat capacity and thermal conductivity.
