Company Overview:

Orton is a full service independent, nonprofit research and testing laboratory that specializes in measuring the behavior of refractory ceramic materials. Physical, thermal, and mechanical property measurements are available for performing product development, quality control and failure analysis. Consulting services on refractory and other ceramic materials are also available. Orton also works closely with other organizations for testing and consulting services not available in its laboratories.
The Center is staffed with engineers and technicians who understand and are responsive to the needs of its customers. Standardized procedures are employed on calibrated equipment. New and existing tests, in conjunction with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), are continually under development.
Producer of pyrometric monitoring devices; thermoanalytical instruments, electronic kiln controllers; vents and material testing services.

Orton is a full service independent, nonprofit research and testing laboratory that specializes in measuring the behavior of refractory ceramic materials. Physical, thermal, and mechanical property measurements are available for performing product development, quality control and failure analysis. 

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) is a "fingerprinting" technique that provides information on the chemical reactions, phase transformations, and structural changes that occur in a sample during a heat-up or a cool-down cycle. 

In 1980 a team from the National Bureau of Standards-NBS (now National Institute of Standards and Technology-NIST) visited Orton to assist in establishing a temperature measurement capability which would be directly traceable to NBS/NIST. 

Orton manufactures a wide range of thermoanalytical instruments that measure the physical properties of ceramic, glass, metal, polymer, elastomer, and composite materials at a variety of temperatures. 

The Orton Simultaneous DTA/TGA is used to study the raw material decompositions and reactions during melting, and determining glass transition temperatures.
