Thermal Expansion
Understanding how materials expand and contract with temperature is fundamental to designing components where dimensional stability is critical. Whether your application calls for broad-range characterisation of structural materials, high-accuracy reference measurements, or resolution of expansion coefficients at the 10⁻⁸/K level, the right measurement system and configuration determine the quality of your conclusions. We support method selection, instrument setup and workflow design so your thermal expansion data becomes actionable in both development and production contexts.
Instruments we represent
SuperLIX
Ultra-high-precision laser Interferometer resolving thermal expansion coefficients down to 1×10⁻⁸/K.
