A sample sits in a ceramic tube assembly and a push rod transmits its length change to a displacement sensor, and the head connects to the instrument electronics through a 16-pin circular cable. It mounts on a rail alongside the furnace module and is used in materials characterization labs to study thermal expansion coefficients, sintering behavior, and phase transitions in ceramics, metals, and other materials. ## Images - - - -
