Effect of heating speed
The graph above shows the effect of heating speed on TG-DTA measurement results
When the heating speed is increased, the final temperature of the weight reduction and exothermic peak phase gets higher, and thus causes a lower resolution. On the other hand, the visible area of the exothermic peak on the DTA line increases. If you want to examine the small size peaks on the DTA line, you should choose at a high heating speed.
Static or dynamic environment
There are two purposes of air blowing to create a measuring environment
Special measuring environment
Oxidizing environment (air, oxygen (O2)), reducing environment (H2), inert gas environment (N2, Ar, He), halogen atmosphere and moist environment can be selected. However, it is important to note that a number of gases may react to the sample holder or incinerator. In addition, users also need to pay attention to fire and toxic safety issues when using these special gas environments.
