An increase in pressure influences all chemical reactions and physical changes. This can cause a change in volume. Also, studying thermal effects under pressure can shift evaporation to a higher temperature or increase reaction rates.
As such, there is often no alternative to DSC measurements for testing, quality control or process development under pressure.
The HP DSC 2+ offers a robust, reliable solution in all these circumstances.
Shorter Analysis Time
High pressure differential scanning calorimetry enables the measurement of samples under specifically defined atmospheres of up to 10 MPa, as a function of either time or temperature. Analysis times are reduced by using higher temperatures and pressures to speed up chemical reactions.
Measurements Under Process Conditions
An increase in pressure is one factor that can influence chemical reactions and physical changes, within which a change in volume may occur. Because of this, DSC is the only viable method of measurement under pressure.
Better Interpretation
Increased pressure also suppresses vaporization and shifts the effect of this to higher temperatures. High pressure differential scanning calorimetry (HPDSC) instruments such as the HP DSC 2+ are perfect for studying the influence of atmosphere and pressure on a sample, or for separating out an effect that may be overlapped by vaporization.
