Thermogravimetric analyzer TGA1003

rubberprocessstability

Short description
Thermogravimetric 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
