TPL has a number of research facilities:

• An automated apparatus for the mf-TMA (the modulated force thermomechanical analysis) by which the speed of sound, elasticity moduli, and internal friction coefficient are measured in dependence on the temperature and time. The temperature range of the apparatus is from 25 °C to 1250 °C.
• A horizontal push-rod dilatometer for a relative expansion measurement that enables one to measure samples 20 – 50 mm long in the temperature range from 25 °C to 1250 °C.
• A horizontal push-rod dilatometer from the Netzsch company that enable one to measure coefficient of linear thermal expansion in the temperature range from 25 °C to 1400 °C with a different gas application.
• DSC/DTA apparatus from the Netzsch company with the temperature range from 25 °C to 1400 °C and with a different gas application.
• Laser flash apparatus from the Netzsch company for a thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity measurements of compact samples in the temperature range from 25 °C to 1400 °C.
• An apparatus for measurements of the thermal conductivity of compact materials and powders by the hot-wire method. The temperature range of the apparatus is from 25 °C to 1000 °C.
