High pressure can affect all chemical reactions and physical changes where there is a volume change. For quality control, process development or material testing, there is usually no alternative to DSC measurements under pressure.
- Shorter analysis time — reactions are expedited by higher temperatures and pressures
- Better interpretation — effects can be isolated by suppressing vaporization
- Measurements under process conditions — practical reaction environments can be simulated
