Thermogravimetric analysis refers to a thermal analysis method that measures the relationship between the mass of a substance and temperature or time under programmed temperature and certain atmospheric conditions, and obtains a thermogravimetric (TG) curve.

The design of SetlineTGA meets the requirements of high-frequency and high-intensity experimental environments (especially suitable for university teaching and experimental centers, rubber and plastic chemical enterprise technology research and quality inspection fields), and has significant characteristics such as easy learning and durability, simple operation, wide temperature application range, and low maintenance cost.

SetlineTGA can conduct research and testing, quality monitoring, and failure analysis in industries such as polymers, pharmaceutical synthesis, food, plastics, rubber, and coatings. Widely used in component analysis (such as carbon black and fillers), thermal stability/decomposition, reaction stoichiometry, reaction kinetics, desorption/adsorption processes, vaporization behavior, influence of active gases, and analysis of escaping gases (MS, FTIR, GC/MS), etc.

Accurate and easy to operate

Featuring a simple and reliable suspension balance, specifically designed for TGA applications

Lower operating costs

Simple maintenance and reasonable design

Technical and application support

Any problem can receive timely and fast response

CALISTO 2.0Professional thermal analysis software

The software has powerful functions and is easy to operate

SetlineTGA provides you with an extremely stunning and powerful thermogravimetric solution that is easy to operate and cost-effective to use

It combines:

lThe principle of hanging scales in the industry enables mass change measurement

lConvenient and efficient temperature calibration system

lHighly integrated design, greatly saving laboratory space and land occupation

lPowerful and intuitive Calisto thermal analysis software

u In a suspended balance, a hanging wire is used to suspend the sample on the thermogravimetric module. In addition to sensitivity and stability, the suspended balance minimizes the drift of thermogravimetric signals with temperature changes, commonly known as buoyancy effects.

u SETLINE TGA adopts the sturdy and durable furnace body of SETLINE STA, using water cooling circulation for rapid cooling. The furnace body can be operated at a temperature increase or decrease or constant temperature through program control.

u We provide high-quality crucibles made of aluminum, alumina, platinum, quartz, and other materials with a volume range between 130 and 250 μ l for hanging scales

u The bottom of the furnace is equipped with an independent temperature control module for precise temperature control

Setline TGA Technical Parameters

Setline TGA experimental case:

1，Using SETLINE TGACompare the temperature resistance of four different O-ring materials: NBR (nitrile rubber), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and FPM (fluorinated rubber).

Experimental setup: For each material, weigh a sample of 30mg ± 2mg and place it in an alumina crucible. Heat the crucible at a rate of 10K/min from 30 ° C to 700 ° C,Atmosphere with a flow rate of 30ml/min and nitrogen protection

Under the same experimental conditions, a blank experiment was conducted using an empty alumina crucible,To eliminate the influence of buoyancy effect in the experiment

Experimental results: NBR nitrile rubber and EPDM ternary ethylene propylene rubber begin to decompose at around 210 ℃. At 700 ℃, the quality losses were 54.67% and 55.41%, respectively. FPM has better thermal stability than NBR and EPDM, with a decomposition temperature of around 270 ℃.

PTFE is relatively stableYes, at 480℃Start to decompose left and right. However, its decomposition rate is higher than the other three elastomers, with a mass loss of 99.97% at the end of heating.

2，Using SETLINE TGADetermine the moisture and volatile content of nylon 6,6.

Experimental setup: Weigh a 40mg sample of nylon 6,6 and place it in an alumina crucible. Heat the crucible at a rate of 5k/min from 25 ℃ to 250 ℃, maintain the temperature at 250 ℃ for 90 minutes, and protect it with nitrogen gas at a flow rate of 30ml/min

Experimental results: The mass loss corresponding to the humidity and volatile levels inside the material is 1.87%. The determination of moisture content requires precise measurement, and the suspended upper balance design of SETLINE TGA is very suitable for this type of test.

3Using SETLINE TGA for compositional analysis of mineral powders

Experimental setup: Place a small amount (20 mg) of mineral powder into a platinum crucible, heat it from 30 ℃ to 1100 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, and protect it with nitrogen gas at a flow rate of 30ml/min

Experimental results: For the mineral samples studied, the following results were obtained:

From 30 ℃ to 360 ℃, the emission of volatile compounds is 0.59%

2. From 360 ℃ to 585 ℃, magnetite dissociation causes mass loss: MgCO3 MgO+CO2

From 585 ℃ to 693 ℃, due to the two-step decomposition of dolomite, there is a loss of quality. When they occur at almost the same temperature, these steps look like a mass loss: CaMg (CO)₃)₂→CaCO₃+ MgO + CO₂And then CaCO₃→ CaO + CO₂

4. Quality loss due to talc decomposition from 693 ℃ to 1100 ℃: Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂→ 3MgSiO₃+ SiO₂+ H₂O

Each reaction determines a stoichiometric factor based on the following formula:

Where Mm=molar mass of mineral, Mp=molar mass of volatile compounds released during the reaction process (s)

Then calculate the content of each component based on quality loss and stoichiometric factors, using the following formula:

Among them, C=component content, expressed in%, f=stoichiometric factor, M=mass loss during the reaction process, expressed in%

The results indicate that Setline TGA is highly suitable for the study of mineral substances, especially for the analysis of mineral composition.
