Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures Specific Heat Capacity, Heat of Transition, and the Temperature of Phase Changes and Melting Points. DSC measures the rate of heat flow, and compares differences between the heat flow rate of the test sample and known reference materials. As a sample undergoes a transition (melting, crystallization, etc.), heat is absorbed or emitted. This change in heat flow is then measured by the system and can be analyzed. The difference determines variations in material composition, crystallinity and oxidation.

Materials Testing
The importance of materials testing cannot be underestimated. Across every major industry, manufacturers, developers and operators of critically important systems, products and components need to be assured that the materials employed in forming their equipment are up to their intended tasks. That’s why the most diligent method of verifying that the materials companies use in manufacturing processes will perform to expectations and adhere to all applicable regulations is through reliable materials testing.
