Thermo-optical Oscillating Refraction Characterizer: TORC 5000

The Optics Route to Thermal Analysis.

TORC 5000 features unique technology in a robust and compact instrument and combines this with powerful measurement software. The Thermo-optical Oscillating Refraction Characterization (TORC) technique enables determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion and monitoring of phase and glass transitions. TORC 5000 is an interesting and economic solution for adhesive and polymer manufacturers, e.g. to monitor curing, polymer reactions as well as the temperature- and time-dependent behavior of samples.
