Description
To the point
The Linseis DIL L75 PT Horizontal and the DIL L75 PT Vertical are high-precision dilatometers for measuring thermal length changes in solids, liquids, powders and pastes.
The DIL L75 PT Horizontal offers a highly vacuum-tight design that enables measurements under vacuum as well as under oxidizing and reducing atmospheres.
The DIL L75 PT Vertical is characterized by its frictionless “Zero Friction” design, which is particularly suitable for sintering studies and materials with extremely low expansion.
Both systems feature high-resolution linear inductive displacement transducers that ensure maximum accuracy, reproducibility and long-term stability.
Thanks to the comprehensive thermostatization and optional adaptations for use in a glovebox, they are versatile in use.
In addition, both models offer automatic pressure control, which allows the contact pressure to be varied depending on the application and keeps it constant throughout the measurement.
The following physical properties can be measured:
- CTE (expansion coefficient)
- Linear thermal expansion
- Sintering temperature
- Phase transformations
- Softening points
- Decomposition temperatures
- Glass transition temperatures
The cryogenic option of the DIL L75 PT Vertical enables measurements at temperatures from -263°C to +220°C, offers various sample holders, vacuum operation and controlled atmospheres and ensures maximum accuracy and easy handling.

Applications
Application example: Glass ceramic
Dilatometry is an excellent method for determining the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the softening point of glass-ceramics.
In addition to the absolute expansion, the relative expansion and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), the first derivative of the absolute expansion can also be calculated against the temperature.
The O-passage of the differentiation is the maximum of the thermal expansion and therefore the softening point of the material can be calculated exactly.
Application example: Ceramics / powder metallurgy
In the production process of high-tech ceramics, it is of great interest if the sintering process can be simulated.
With the optional RCS (rate controlled sintering) software package, it is possible to control the sintering process with the dilatometer according to the PALMOUR III model theory.
In this application, the sintering process of ZrO2 is controlled in such a way that a final density of 100% is achieved, as the heating rate is controlled as a function of the density.
