Iranian knowledge-based firm localizes advanced thermal analysis technology at one-third the cost of foreign models

An Iranian knowledge-based company has successfully designed and manufactured a complete Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), providing a precise thermal analysis tool for the country’s polymer industry, according to the Communication and Information Center of the Iranian Vice-President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy,

Mehdi Hosseini, a laboratory expert at the company Sanaaf Aria, explained that their DSC device, showcased at the Iran-Saakht 13 (Iran-Made) exhibition, measures heat flow as a function of temperature, allowing industries to determine key polymer properties, including melting point, crystallization temperature, and glass transition temperature (Tg).

Hosseini emphasized that the device complies with international standards such as ASTM and ISO, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results.

“Similar devices are available in international markets, including Germany and the US, but our domestically produced DSC offers a significant cost advantage and after-sales support,” Hosseini said.

He added that the Iranian-made device costs approximately one-third of the foreign models, making it an affordable and high-quality option for domestic industries.

The achievement represents a milestone in localizing advanced testing equipment for polymer and material quality control, underscoring Iran’s growing capabilities in knowledge-based manufacturing and high-tech innovation.
