Very suitable for developing laboratories and production/Quality control environment.CTEThe tester measures the thermal expansion coefficient of various materials, including types used in electronic packaging applications （CTE） measurement The testing method used isASTM D696andASTM E228.

Product Introduction

CTE-360can be-20°Cto100°CorCTE-360LTof-30°Cto100°CMeasure the thermal expansion coefficient of various materials within the temperature range. Although it is mainly used to study materials used in electronic packaging applications, it can be used for almost any solid, gel, paste or viscous liquid within this temperature range.

Instruments used to measure linear and volumetric thermal expansion coefficients are also known as“Expansion meter”.Analysis Tech CTE-360testInstrument usageSpecially targetingImplementation of Electronic Packaging MaterialsASTM D696andASTM E228Software package WinCTE Included in the tester for testing control and data collection/The analysis and demonstration functions provide a simple user interface.CTEThe precision tolerance is usually within±2%to±8%Between them, although all data are automatically attached with separately calculated tolerances.CTE-360The tester is an economical, independent, solid-state, and self-contained device that does not require an external cooler or refrigeration equipment.

Solid material test samples are tested by directly inserting them into a cylindrical testing chamber. They can be cylindrical or polygonal, with a maximum cross-sectional size of 0.5 Inches（12.5 Millimeters) to suit the testing room. The nominal recommended sample length is 2 Inches（50 Millimeters), but this length is not important and shorter samples can be used.

Other material types may require specific sample racks: use thin sample racks to test solid sheet materials, which measureXYThermal expansion in the (plane) direction. Viscous liquid materials (including phase change materials) are tested in a liquid sample holder, which includes disposable materials/Reusable sealing tube.

Analysis Tech CTE-360can be-20Cto+100CMeasuring the thermal expansion coefficient of materials within the temperature range is very suitable for materials used in electronic packaging. These testsInstrument compliancetest methodASTM D696andASTM E228, can be used for sheet materials (in-plane expansion) as well as liquids and gel.

All test parameters and measurement procedures are used WinCTE Graphic user interface software for software control. During the testing process, the sample temperature and all other relevant parameters will be automatically controlled toRealize the needs of the staffEstablish testing conditions and achieve the optimal balance between testing duration and data accuracy. During the testing process, the length of the test sample is measured electronically, commonly referred to as“in situ”Length measurement. Data in text filesExcelThe format of the data file is presented in a simple and clear manner, and a graphical representation of the relationship between temperature data and expansion is presented.

WinCTE The software package provides complete help files and screen instructions, allowing new users to quickly become experienced users without special training.WinCTE The software continuously monitors all aspects of the tester's operation and provides detailed prompts and guidance when appropriate.

Optional calibration equipment and reference sample packages are helpful for use WinCTE The functions of the softwareCTEThe tester undergoes regular on-site instrument calibration. The reference sample group includes recorded test samples for ease of referenceCTEThe accuracy verification and long-term consistency data of the testing instrument.
