High-temperature dilatometer system for measuring the shrinkage kinetics of a liquid-containing ceramic system.
A dilatometer system usable to 1600 degrees C in atmospheres varying from oxidizing to reducing, with or without controlled dew points, is described. The system was optimized to measure the shrinkage of a liquid-containing ceramic material without causing deformation by viscous creep. Shrinkages up to 20% may be measured continuously during a heating cycle.
