Modular Design for Unmatched Flexibility
The modular design of the NETZSCH DSC 500 Pegasus® allows for the flexible adaption to a wide range of applications. Key configurable options include:
1. Various Furnaces
• Different furnace types to cover a temperature range from -150°C to 2000°C.
• Easily interchangeable furnaces for special applications
2. Dual Hoist System
• Simultaneous installation of two furnaces for rapid transitions across applications or temperature ranges.
• Option for a single furnace with an automatic sample changer for continuous, uninterrupted measurements.
3. Interchangeable Sensor System
• Versatility for DTA mode, traditional DSC mode, or high-precision DSC-cp mode, simply by simply swapping sensors.
Precision Engineering for Reliable Results
The NETZSCH DSC 500 is designed for precision and reproducibility. It meets unique challenges of high-temperature thermal analysis. Benefit from a fixed sensor arrangement adjustable with micrometer precision for tasks like specific heat capacity determination. Heat capacity is a material-specific physical quantity, determined by the amount of heat supplied to specimen, divided by the resulting temperature increase. The specific heat capacity is related to a unit mass of the specimen. Advanced atmospheric control, including dedicated mass flow controllers and a vacuum-tight chamber, enables measurements free from unwanted reactions or contamination.
