Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (DSC/TGA)

TA Instruments Discovery SDT 650

Simultaneous Thermal Analyser performing DSC and TGA measurements at the same time.

Description

The SDT 650 is a dual beam simultaneous analyser able to measure the weight change and heat flow changes of the sample at temperatures up to 1500°C.

By measuring the changes in heat flow it is possible to determine the onset of melting & crystallisation, changes, glass transition temperature, and specific heat capacity.

The STA also offers thermo gravimetric analysis to measure the release of gases & compounds, breakdowns in structure, and decomposition.

Uses / Applications

  • Melting and Crystallisation of most kinds of materials
  • Glass transition temperatures of glass samples, polymers, etc.
  • Decomposition and thermal stability studies using thermogravimetric analysis
