TA Instruments DMA 3200 Testing Services

How Our Lab Uses the TA Instruments DMA 3200

The DMA 3200 brings together dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing capabilities in a single high-force, highly versatile machine. This machine can handle not only complex DMA/TTS (time-temperature superpositioning) analysis, but also axial fatigue capabilities across a wide range of materials and temperatures.

Common Applications

  • The DMA 3200’s DMA functions can be used to analyze master curves through advanced TTS, peak analysis, onset analysis, and relaxation spectrum for various solid materials ranging from foams to composites. DMA master curves can be used to determine a material's behavior (stiffness, damping, etc.) over a wide range of frequencies and times scales.

  • Due to the larger load capacity of the DMA 3200, it can be used for conducting fatigue tests on material at various temperatures, modes, and frequencies. The evaluation of the fatigue life of material is crucial when designing products that experience repeated loading.

Get Started

1
Share your requirements

Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.

2
Confirm the approach

We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.

3
Submit your PO and materials

Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.

4
Receive your results

You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.

Typical turnaround for most testing is five business days. Longer-duration programs may require more time.
