Automatic Dilatometer DF-4
Overview
Swelling rate (increase in volume when heated) is an important indicator of the quality of coal for coking. It is determined by a standard dilatometric test.
- In one measuring cycle, four samples can be measured.
- Fully automated performance.
- Auto-diagnostics of the equipment.
From the expansion curves the following numerical parameters of the tested coal samples are obtained.
- Softening temperature.
- Temperature of maximum contraction.
- Temperature of maximum dilatation.
- Value of maximum contraction.
- Value of maximum dilatation.
