EPLEXOR® 100 N

The EPLEXOR® 100 N combines the dynamic mechanic thermal analysis with the dynamic material testing for the determination of the absolute values of the E modulus. The EPLEXOR® 100 N is available in two different designs: EPLEXOR® 100 N High End and EPLEXOR® 100 N Basic Further fields of application are: DMA/DMTA/DMTS Dynamic component testing Durability tests Analysis of the visco-elastic material properties Dynamic fatigue testing Relaxation and retardation - creep testing - (optional) Tests in liquids (optional) Tests among UV light (optional) Tests in humid atmosphere (optional) Prediction of application properties Materials research Impact tests The upgradable Automatic Sample Supply System (ASSS) with a sample dimension measurement station guarantees a best possible sample capacity during investigations in the entire temperature range of -150 °C to 500 °C (option). CHARACTERISTICS: The only DMTS system with two independent drives (only EPLEXOR® 100 N High End) for the static and dynamic load. Contrary to the High End version the EPLEXOR® 100 N Basic system is equipped with one drive for the dynamic and static load and is therefore particularly inexpensive. Through the higher force range it is especially applicable for curable plastics, composites or elastomers.

Absolute values of deformation, force, initial sample length L0 and temperature. Determination of the following material properties: E’, E”, G’, G”, η”, η’, tan delta (depends on the used sample holder). Storage of the raw data. Dynamic testing of polymers, elastomers, caoutchoucs, rubbers, biological materials, glasses, ceramics, metals, foils, fibres, tyre cords, resins, adhesives, prepregs, composites, lacquers, coatings, food-stuffs, pharmaceuticals and much more. Changeable force transducers. Changeable sample holders. Automatic Sample Supply System (ASSS) for tension, compression and bending samples within the entire temperature range, including sample dimension determination (option). Simultaneous DMA/DMTS and TMA application. Control and measurement analysis, alternatively in the procedure of FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation), Least Square Fit or hysteresis. Time, temperature, superposition (mastercurves) - WLF, Arrhenius, numerical methods. Extensive software package (data and curve analysis), spline functions, 3D-plots and Cole-Cole diagrams.
