A sample holding device, or pocket, allowing the containment and subsequent analysis of materials within a dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA)

摘要

A Pocket, usually of an inert material, provides a suitable vessel for holding unusual materials such as a powder, in the analytical head of a stiffness measuring device, such as a dynamic mechanical analyser (Figure 4). The pocket comprises, in one embodiment, a steel shim which has been folded over and the sample placed in the thus formed trough. A temperature sensor may be placed in the trough prior to closure by sealing or welding.
