Differential scanning calorimeterIt measures the relationship between temperature and heat flux related to the internal thermal transformation of materials, and has a wide range of applications, especially in material research and development, performance testing, and quality control. Characteristics of the material, such as glass transition temperature. Cold crystallization, phase transition, melting, crystallization, thermal stability, oxidation induction period, oxidation induction temperature, specific heat capacity, solidification/crosslinking are all research and development areas of DSC.
Differential scanning calorimeterOperation process:
1. Sample preparation: Select a sample of appropriate size, weigh it, and place it in a DSC crucible to ensure that the sample volume is moderate and uniform.
2. Instrument settings: Open the DSC instrument and set experimental parameters such as starting temperature, ending temperature, heating rate, etc.
3. Calibration of instruments: Before the experiment begins, it is necessary to calibrate the DSC instrument, including temperature calibration and heat calibration, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.
4. Place the crucible: Place the crucible containing the sample into the DSC furnace, ensuring that the crucible is placed stably without shaking or tilting.
5. Start the experiment: After setting the experimental parameters, start the instrument for the experiment. The DSC instrument will automatically record the amount of heat absorbed or released by the sample during heating or cooling, and plot it into a curve.
6. Result analysis: After the experiment, analyze the DSC curve. By observing the trend and characteristic points of the curve, information about the thermal properties of the sample can be obtained.
