Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient Tester
Characterize expansion and contraction of glass and related materials during heating.
An automated laser-displacement system for measuring linear thermal expansion and contraction of pharmaceutical glass and related materials at elevated temperature.

Workflow and key features
The XRC-800A controls the thermal program, captures specimen displacement with a laser sensor and calculates expansion results and curves in software. Its large test space and integrated cooling are designed to improve consistency and reduce the interval between tests.
- Automatic chamber closure and test sequence reduce operator variation
- Laser displacement measurement supports dynamic expansion analysis
- Integrated cooling shortens turnaround between high-temperature tests
- Software calculates expansion coefficients and records temperature-displacement curves
- Local storage, audit trail and export functions support GMP-oriented data control
