SİMULTANE TERMOGRAVİMETRİK ANALİZÖR (STA)
The STA Device is an important laboratory device used for material characterization and allows monitoring changes in the mass of a sample depending on temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere and temperature program. TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) is a technique in which the mass of a sample is monitored against time or temperature while programming the temperature of the sample in a specific atmosphere. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and a reference is measured as a function of temperature.
Brand/Model: HITACHI/ NEXTA STA 300
Working Principle:
The device can perform TGA and DSC measurements simultaneously. TGA shows mass change. TGA signal shows water losses such as thermal decomposition and oxidative decomposition, while DSC shows state change and degradation. Melting, crystallization and glass transition points can be detected with DSC signal.
Application Areas:
STA is used as a technique to characterize materials used in a variety of environmental, food, pharmaceutical and petrochemical applications.Main analyzes that can be done with STA:
- Measuring heat resistance and thermal stability in materials
- Calculation of activation energy
- Finding the decomposition time at constant temperature
- Calculation of % ash content of materials
- Measurement of moisture and solvent loss of the material
- Determining the amount of filler
- Calculation of oxidation
