✦ Synopsis

We report thermal-expansion, magnetostriction and ultrasound measurements on monocrystalline samples of the hexagonal heavy fermion compound UPd2AI3 . At high magnetic fields anomalies are found within the superconducting phase. The absolute values of the elastic constants were determined using ultrasound techniques.
