Discovery TGA

TGA measures amount and rate of a material's weight change as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere.

9

Temperature range starts from ambient to 1200°C.

9

Technique can characterize materials that exhibit weight loss/gain due to decomposition, oxidation, or dehydration.

9

Applications include:

  • thermal stability of materials
  • oxidative stability of materials
  • composition of multi-component systems
  • estimated lifetime of product
  • decomposition kinetics of materials
  • effect of reactive/corrosive atmospheres on materials
  • moisture and volatiles content of materials
