Description
RELIABLE AND FLEXIBLE
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY
The TGA Thermostep is a powerful thermogravimetric analyzer characterized by robust design, high precision and flexibility. It is possible to apply different atmospheres and to use sample weights of up to 5 g. The Thermostep reliably and efficiently measures parameters such as moisture, ash and volatiles according to a user-defined SOP.
SIMPLE OPERATION YIELDS QUICK RESULTS
Operation of the TGA Thermostep is simple, convenient and safe. After selecting the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in the PC, the sample ID’s can be entered into the software. The samples are then weighed in the crucible at the position assigned to the sample ID in the carousel. After one sample has been weighed, the carousel automatically rotates to the next position and the next registered sample can then be weighed in the crucible. Alternatively, a carousel filled with samples which has been weighed externally, can be placed into the analyzer.
It is also possible to position a second carousel with crucible lids above the crucibles. Once the analysis is finished, a new cycle can be started after a short cool-down period.
APPLICATIONS
Due to the flexible application management the TGA Thermostep can measure TGA parameters in many samples like coal, coke, building materials, food
FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE
Operation of the thermogravimetric analyzer TGA Thermostep is simple and convenient. The measurement process has to be defined once regarding the used temperatures, atmospheres and heating ranges. To start the thermogravimetric analysis, a predefined process simply has to be chosen in the software and the sample has to be weighed into the crucible. All further steps are processed automatically. All data processing, control of the measurement process and calculating of the result is done by an external PC with Windows®-based software. Thermogravimetric analysis of moisture, volatile and ash content requires about 4 hours.
