    Technological Excellence
    A Two Core Testing Modes
    • Constant Pressure Mode: Monitors the thickness change of the battery at a constant pressure, simulating the actual force conditions of the battery cell.
    • Constant Gap Mode: Monitors the expansion force change at a fixed thickness, evaluating the structural stress on the module/shell.
    B Ultra-high Measurement Accuracy
    • The displacement resolution reaches 0.1μm, accurately capturing minute phase change expansion.
    • High-precision pressure sensor ensures real-time accuracy of mechanical data.
    C Integrated Analysis Software
    • Synchronously collects six-dimensional data including voltage, current, capacity, thickness, pressure, and temperature.
    • Automatically generates professional analysis charts such as thickness-capacity, expansion force-SOC, and dQ/dV correlations.

    FAQ
    Q Why is "in-situ" testing more important than "ex-situ" testing in the research and development of silicon anode batteries?
    The off-site test can only observe the final results, while the in-situ test can capture in real time the pulverization points and nonlinear expansion processes of silicon particles during their lithium extraction. With the Taiantest in-situ system, researchers can accurately determine the failure points of electrolyte additives within the corresponding voltage range.
    Q How should one choose between the constant pressure mode and the constant gap mode?
    If you are studying the inherent physical properties of the materials, it is recommended to use the constant pressure mode; if you are verifying the module structure design or the strength of the PACK shell, the constant gap mode can more accurately simulate the expansion force and damage of the battery in a sealed space.
    Q How stable is the system? Can it support long-term cycle tests lasting for several months?
    By using an extremely low temperature drift displacement sensor combined with a highly rigid frame, the measurement errors caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the equipment as well as mechanical fatigue can be effectively eliminated. The system supports 24/7 uninterrupted operation and has a power outage data protection function.
    Q What types of battery cells are compatible with this in-situ expansion analysis system?
    The system is compatible with a wide range of battery cell formats, including pouch cells, prismatic cells, and cylindrical cells. The compression plate dimensions (W300×D400mm) and the adjustable pressure range (10kg–1000kg) allow flexible configuration for different cell sizes and chemistries.
    Q Can the system simultaneously collect electrochemical and mechanical data?
    Yes. The integrated analysis software synchronously collects six-dimensional data streams — including voltage, current, capacity, thickness, pressure, and temperature — in real time. This enables direct correlation between electrochemical behavior and mechanical expansion characteristics throughout the full charge/discharge cycle.
    Q What safety features are included in the test chamber design?
    The test chamber incorporates multiple safety mechanisms: an automatic pressure relief port (≥W200×H200mm) on the left side that opens when the battery explosion shock wave pressure exceeds 0.104MPa, and a Ø100mm test hole on the right side fitted with a silicone plug and a chain restraint to prevent ejection during battery failure events. The insulation layer uses flame-retardant, high-temperature-resistant rock wool material.
