Your complete guide to DSC testing at Kiyo R&D Lab
When does a plastic melt, soften, crystallise, or finish curing? Those answers come from one of the most powerful tools in thermal analysis — DSC. It tracks the heat a material absorbs or releases as it’s warmed or cooled, revealing transitions you can’t see any other way. If you need reliable differential scanning calorimetry testing in chennai, Kiyo R&D Lab delivers precise DSC data that helps you identify materials, verify quality, and troubleshoot processing.
From plastics and polymers to pharmaceuticals, coatings, and composites, our expert team delivers accurate thermal transitions, supporting analysis, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry measures the heat flow into or out of a sample as its temperature is changed, compared against a reference. When the material melts, crystallises, cures, or undergoes a glass transition, it absorbs or releases heat — and DSC records each event as a peak or step. Precise differential scanning calorimetry testing in chennai converts those thermal signatures into the numbers that identify and qualify a material.
For manufacturers, DSC confirms a polymer grade or cure state. For R&D, it guides formulation. For QC and failure work, it flags contamination, wrong material, or incomplete processing — all from a few milligrams of sample.
As a full-service provider of differential scanning calorimetry testing in chennai, we measure the key thermal transitions across plastics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and composites.

Fingerprint & purity checks.
| Transition | What It Shows | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Glass transition (Tg) | Step in heat flow | Service & softening limit |
| Melting (Tm) | Endothermic peak | Grade identification |
| Crystallisation | Exothermic peak | Processing behaviour |
| Cure | Reaction exotherm | Degree of cure |
| Oxidation (OIT) | Onset of oxidation | Stability & lifetime |
Our differential scanning calorimetry testing in chennai follows globally recognised methods so your reports are accepted by auditors, buyers, and regulators alike.
ASTM ISO
| Standard | What It Covers | Use |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM D3418 | Transition temperatures of polymers by DSC | Tg, Tm |
| ISO 11357 | Plastics — DSC (full series) | All transitions |
| ASTM E793 | Enthalpies of fusion & crystallisation | Enthalpy |
