Short descriptionThermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) records sample mass change versus temperature or time to characterize thermal stability, composition and decomposition behavior. Intended for R&D, process optimisation and quality control in plastics, rubber, coatings, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, inorganic and metal materials, and composites.
Measurements and material characteristics- Thermal stability and decomposition temperatures
- Decomposition processes and residue analysis
- Adsorption and desorption behaviour
- Oxidation and reduction reactions
- Quantitative composition analysis
- Influence of additives and fillers
- Moisture and volatile content
- Reaction kinetics
Structural features- Furnace heated by double-row Ni–Cr alloy winding to reduce interference and provide high temperature resistance
- Sensor tray made of Ni–Cr alloy for improved high-temperature and corrosion resistance
- Separated power supply and heat-dissipation units to minimise thermal and vibration influence on the microbalance
- Open-top furnace design for easy operation and sample handling
- Host isolated by a water-zone constant-temperature device to stabilise chassis and microbalance
- Replaceable furnace module configurable to customer requirements
Controller and software features- 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor for fast sampling and processing
- 24-bit multi-channel ADC captures DSC, TG and temperature signals
- Independent control of power and water-circulation units to avoid mutual interference
- USB bidirectional communication enabling remote control, parameter setting and start/stop from PC
- 7-inch full-colour 24-bit touchscreen with on-screen TG calibration
