The analysis of the thermal properties of a material under pressure is important. Oils, rubbers, polymers and other functional materials need to perform under stress, or under a great deal of pressure. We can offer DSC analysis experiments performed from ambient to 400 bar using a variety of pressuring gasses. TAL also uses a 3D Calvet type sensor, which offers greater sensitivity for measuring small thermal transitions, or difficult to detect heat flow changes. Compared to traditional 2D sensor analysis, we offer analysis on smaller sample sizes, with highly reproducible results using this specialized sensor. Below are the constraints of our analysis uses these sensors and techniques:

	DSC	3D DSC
Temperature range	Ambient – 120 °C	Ambient – 120 °C
Isothermal accuracy	±0.1 °C	±0.1 °C
Ramping rate	0.001 – 2 °C/min	0.001 – 2 °C/min
Resolution	0.02 µW	0.02 µW
Cells	1 mL made from Hastelloy C	1 mL made from Hastelloy C
Gases	Air / Nitrogen / Argon	Air / Nitrogen / Argon
Pressure	Ambient – 400 bar (5800 psi)	Ambient – 400 bar (5800 psi)
