Differential Scanning Calorimetry/Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (DSC/TGA)

Analysis

Make and Model:
TA SDT Q600

Description:
The SDT-Q600 provides an accurate simultaneous measurement of weight change
(TGA) and differential heat flow (DSC) on the same sample.

Features:
    •    Temp range: ambient to 1500 °C.
    •    Horizontal dual beam balance design
        o    Sample capacity: 200 mg
        o    Balance sensitivity: 0.1 µg
        o    DSC heat flow sensitivity: 4 microwatts
    •    A separate gas inlet tube delivers reactive gas (Oxygen) to the sample.
    •    Software for complete automatic experimental control and comprehensive data analysis.

Typical applications:
    •    Studying absorbed moisture content, level of organic and inorganic components, degradation temperatures, solvent residues, and estimation of corrosion kinetics in high temperature oxidation of materials.
    •    Studying phase transitions (melting, glass transitions, and exothermic decompositions), curing processes, and oxidative stability of materials.
