Analysis of thermal expansion of liquids

The analysis of the thermal expansion of liquids makes it possible to measure the evolution of their volume as a function of temperature. This physicochemical property is essential for anticipating the behavior of liquids subjected to thermal variations, particularly in the packaging, environment, materials or technical fluids (lubricants, solvents, etc.) sectors.

The test is usually performed using a dilatometer or a volumetric measuring device under controlled temperature. It allows the determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion, a key parameter for the sizing of containers, the formulation of mixtures, or the prediction of phenomena such as evaporation or internal pressure.

Among the matrices analyzed: oils, solvents, food liquids, aqueous solutions, liquid cosmetic products, etc. This analysis can be combined with thermal stability or material-container compatibility tests.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
