PerkinElmer DMA-8000 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA)

The DMA-8000 is a temperature-controlled dynamic mechanical analyzer. It features a 180° rotating analysis head enabling configuration for any test type and sample geometry. It couples a LN2 dewar with a standard furnace for temperature control between -190°C to 400°C. The system is capable of dynamic oscillations ranging from 0 to 600 Hz. And in addition to operation in dynamic mode, also features "Constant force (TMA) mode" vs. time or temperature. Combined, this system is capable of determining a material's dynamic modulus (storage, tan(δ)), stress/strain, viscoelastic properties, and even expansion coefficient (softening/penetration).
