Characterization of materials using advanced thermal analysis and fire testing techniques
We warmly invite you to take part in a seminar entitled ‘Characterization of materials using advanced thermal analysis and fire testing techniques’, organised by NETZSCH and Austro-Lab.
The aim of the seminar is to familiarize participants with thermal analysis and fire testing methods used in many fields of science and industry. The presentations will be delivered by specialists from NETZSCH, as well as users who apply thermal analysis methods on a daily basis. The topics will cover both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications of thermal analysis and fire testing methods in laboratory and industrial research. The seminar will be accompanied by an exhibition and live demos of thermal analysis and fire testing equipment.
