A novel cell for the study of phase transitions using liquid dilatometry

Show affiliations


An inexpensive Teflon dilatometry cell, using an integral movable diaphragm allows high-sensitivity scanning differential dilatometry to be carried out on liquids using any conventional displacement sensor, such as a capacitance dilatometer, strain gauge or LVDT. It is most suitable for the study of phase transitions in liquids, or solids immersed or suspended in liquids. The authors have studied the phase transitions of unsonicated dispersion of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine and water using a capacitance dilatometer.
