Thermal Alanysis (TG - DTA - DSC) - LABSYSTEM TG

Background:
Thermal analysis is the study of thermal power of sample on heating and cooling as a function of temperature on the  physical and chemical properties of material.

Specifications:
-High temperature up to 1600 °C
-TG ot simultaneous TG/DT A, TG/DSC up to 1600 °C
-Multitasking and multimodules software exploitation

Types of Thermal Analysis:
1- Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA):
DTA is a technique in which the difference in temperature between the sample and the reference is measured as a function of temperature or time when the temperature of sample is scanned in controlled atmosphere ( we can use inert gased like He or Ar.) or active gases (O2, air).
2- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) :
TGA is a technique in which the change in mass of sample is measured as function of time or temperature when the temperature of sample is scanned in controlled atmosphere. This change in the mass of sample due to evaluation of gases dehydration of water or decomposition. These gases can swigs in different wayes referred to collectively as evolved gas analysis.
3- Differenial Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) :
DSC is used to study change in enhalpy as a material is heated. A calorimeter measures heat flow or thermal power of sample into (Endothennic) or out of (Exothermic) a material as it undergoes a phase change and can measure the heat capacity of a material.

Applications:
-Melting points of sample
-Change from one solid directly to another
-Crystallization
-Reactions (including decomposition, devolatization, crosslinking)
-Out-gassing
-Sublimation or change in heat capacity
