Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry

By simultaneous assessment of calorimetric (energy flows) and gravimetric (mass changes) measurements we can characterize the response of a material when heated or exposed to different gases.  With our 'Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer' (STA F3 Jupiter) we conduct simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and can therefore study phase transitions, decomposition, pyrolysis or oxidation. The instrument can handle large samples which is beneficial for heterogeneous materials.

Purpose

To characterize a material’s phase changes, composition and/or enthalpy at high temperatures and the time/temperature of these events

Method

The methods and standards used depend on the material being tested and the requested assessment. Often also conduct tailored scans over the relevant temperature range to analyse the reaction. Our STA measures from 20 ° C to 1650 ° C in a controlled atmosphere of either oxygen/nitrogen mix or other gases on request. The temperature program can follow standards or be developed as needed. We can measure extra-large samples, up to several grams.

Specific Areas

TGA

  • Activation energy
  • Mass change
  • Composition analysis of material, e.g., rubbers
  • Pyrolysis and oxidation temperature
  • Etc.

DSC

  • Reactions
  • Enthalpy
  • Phase transitions
  • Melting point
  • Specific heat capacity
  • Etc.

Deliveries

After measurement, all results are obtained in a data file and a report summarizing the measurements and the most important results.
