A Novel Device for the Dilatometric Study

Abstract

In this work we are interested to develop an adequate dilatometric

method which allows to measure quantitatively the dimensional changes

occurring during thermal treatment of solids and most precisely to determine

their specific characteristics. The research allowed us to realize an

experimental dilatometer able to follow the evolution of dimensional changes

of solids whatever their physical and chemical nature is. With the help

of this new device, the experimental results show that the temperature

phase transformations and the thermal stability of the studied samples

become easily accessible to the operator of these materials.
