This TMA device comprises a balance mechanism for applying a load and a mechanism for detecting and recording the displacement by a differential transformer. Then, a sample having a certain size is heated by applying a certain load in the chamber whose atmosphere is replaced with nitrogen. The load changes as the sample expands or contracts due to this heating. Then, a displacement occurs in order to correct this change and make the load constant. The amount of change, that is, the deformation is measured by detecting this displacement.
