Properties Plastics are heated up in a variety of ways during formation and processing. This thermal
history has a direct influence on product quality and so it is necessary to grasp the thermal
properties and perform optimum temperature control in the manufacturing process.
Evaluating the thermal properties of a substance involves the evaluation of the dependency of
its physical properties on temperature. The physical properties include mass, temperature,
enthalpy, dimensions, and strength, and different types of thermal analyzer are used to evaluate
different properties.

•Thermal Analyzer 60 Series
These analyzers are fully compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and
XP. Up to 4 analyzers (50/60 series) can be connected. They are
equipped with multi-channel, multi-task functions that enable
measurement and analysis to be performed at the same time.
