Applications
Thermal Stability: related materials can be compared
at elevated temperatures under the required
atmosphere. The TG curve can help to elucidate
decomposition mechanisms.
Kinetic Studies: a variety of methods exist for
analysing the kinetic features of all types of weight loss
or gain, either with a view to predictive studies, or to
understanding the controlling chemistry.
Material characterisation: TG and DTG curves can be
used to "fingerprint" materials for identification or quality
control.
To Do the analysis.
Click on Proteus analysis Icon
Click File and open the data you want to analyse
If the measurement just got over. In the
measurement window press tools Run analysis
program
Click on the curve Change time to temperature
Click on AXIS,CURVE,GRID and remove flow
meter readings
Click on Mass change and find the Loss
percentage
Click on Residual mass and find the Remaining
mass
