TGA/DTA/ DSC

TGA/DTA/DSC is a thermoanalytical technique which measures heat flow and weight/mass change of a materials as a function of temperature or time in a controlled environment.

The technique can provide information about thermal stability, Oxidative stability and decomposition kinematics of materials. We can identify phase transitions, melting point, enthalpy, composition etc. of a material by utilizing this instrument. The technique have applications in understanding the behavior of a wide variety of materials including polymers, inorganic/organic chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, composites and many more.

Working Principle

Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)– The sample is heated in N2environment at a constant rate and the change in the weight of the substance is recorded as a function of temperature or time.

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)- The temperature difference between the sample and the reference is measured at a constant heat flow.

Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC)- The difference in heat flow required  between the Sample and the reference to keep the temperature constant, is measured.
