Increased pressure influences all physical changes and chemical reactions in which a change in volume occurs. For material testing, process development or quality control there is often no alternative to DSC measurements under pressure.

  • Shorter analysis time – higher pressure and temperature accelerate reactions
  • Measurements under process conditions – simulation of practical reaction environments
  • Better interpretation – effects can be separated by suppressing vaporization

Innovative Technology

Features and Benefits of the HP DSC 1

Shorter analysis time – higher pressure and temperature accelerate reactions
Measurements under process conditions – simulation of practical reaction environments
Better interpretation – effects can be separated by suppressing vaporization
Suppresses and delays vaporization – separation of a reaction from overlapping vaporization
Higher gas concentrations – reaction rate of heterogeneous reactions with gases is increased
Measurements under special atmospheres – oxidative, oxygen-free conditions or measurements with toxic or combustible gases are possible
Possibility of working at different pressures – more accurate measurement of adsorption and desorption behavior
