Thermogravimetric analysis

Thermogravimetric analysis is an extremely useful measurement method in materials science and analytics. It enables the precise determination of the mass change of a sample as a function of temperature and time. This method is made possible by the use of a precise temperature programme that is carefully controlled.

To carry out thermogravimetric analysis, special devices known as thermobalances are used. These highly developed instruments continuously monitor the weight of a sample during the heating process and record the changes as a function of temperature or time. Through this precise data acquisition, researchers can gain important information about the thermal properties and composition of a sample.
