TGA

Thermogravimetric Analysis - Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) measures the amount and rate of change in the weight of a material as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere.  Measurements are used primarily to determine the composition of materials and to predict their thermal stability at temperatures up to 1500°C. The technique can characterize materials that exhibit weight loss or gain due to decomposition, oxidation, or dehydration

What types of measurements can I perform with TGA?

• Thermal Stability

• Oxidative Stability

• Composition of Multi-component Systems

• Estimated Lifetime of a Product

• Decomposition Kinetics

• The Effect of Reactive or Corrosive Atmospheres on Materials

• Moisture and Volatiles Content
