Description : Measurement Temperature Range : Ambient to 1000 °C Weight Measuring Range : 20mg, 200mg Weight Readability : 0.1 ?g max. Sample Mass : 1g including tare Atmosphere Control : A single flowmeter for the air, inert gas flow, and atmosphere gas is built in. Thermal gravimetric analysis or thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which changes in physical and chemical properties of materials are measured as a function of increasing temperature (with constant heating rate), or as a function of time (with constant temperature and/or constant mass loss) Applications : a) Thermal stability of the related materials can be compared at elevated temperatures under the required atmosphere. TGA curve helps to explicate decomposition mechanisms. b) Materials Characterization: TGA curves can be used to fingerprint materials for identification or qua
