Measure the mechanical properties of your materials as a function of time, temperature, and frequency with the TA Instruments DMA 850. Equipped with a gas cooling accessory allowing for measurements in the -150C to 250C range, you can quantify the elastic (spring-like) versus viscous (fluid-like) components of the sample response which is crucial for reliable and complete viscoelastic property characterization such as Storage Modulus, Loss Modulus, and Tan delta. Available clamps are the dual/single cantilever, tension, 3-point bend, shear sandwich, compression, and submersion film. Sample sizes vary by clamp.
| Deformation Modes/Clamp | Sample Sizes |
| Dual/Single Cantilever | 8/4 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 5mm (T) |
| 20/10 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 5 mm (T) | |
| 35/17.5 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 5 mm (T) | |
| 3-Point Bend | 5,10, or 15 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 7 mm (T) |
| 20 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 7 mm (T) | |
| 50 mm (L), Up to 15 mm (W), and 7 mm (T) | |
| Tension Film/Fiber | 5 to 30 mm (L), Up to 8 mm (W), and 2 mm (T) |
| Shear | 10 mm square, Up to 4 mm (T) |
| Compression | 15 and 40 mm diamter, Up to 10 mm (T) |
| Submersion Tension | Fixed at 15 mm (L), Up to 8 mm (W), and 2 mm (T) |
