Thermogravimetry is a standard method to analyze organic, inorganic and synthetic materials. Thermogravimetric analysis in general means the measurement of the weight loss during a user-defined temperature or heating process.
ELTRA's TGA Thermostep ML is a thermogravimetric analyzer which determinesvarious parameters such as moisture, volatiles and ash at user-definedtemperatures and atmospheres in a single analysis.
The TGA Thermostep ML simultaneously analyzes up to 19 samples with sample weights up to 5 g and can be operated at temperatures up to 1000 °C.
For correct measurement of volatiles in fuels ceramic lids must be placed and removed manually on the ceramic crucibles.
Benefits
Measurement of up to 19 samples in one analysis
Sample weights of up to 5 g
Fast heating rates, accurate temperature control
High-performance, precise weighing cell
Robust design allows for use in laboratories and production
ELTRA TGA analyzers are an ideal alternative to standard laboratory ovens and muffle furnaces for thermogravimetric analysis.Thanks to a programmable furnace that is connected to an integrated balance, heating and weighing are combined in one instrument. This saves time-consuming manual work and allows for high sample throughput. In addition, typical parameters such as moisture, ash and volatiles can be determined in one analysis run
