FAQ's of Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer:
Q: How does the Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer perform multi-mode analyses like TGA, DSC, and DTA concurrently?
A: The instrument is designed to measure thermogravimetric (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) parameters using a single sample in one testing run. Its advanced sensor system and microprocessor enable collection of all three datasets simultaneously, saving time and improving accuracy for comprehensive material research.
Q: What types of atmospheres can be used in the analyzer, and how are they controlled?
A: The analyzer supports both static and flowing atmospheres, using either inert (e.g., nitrogen, argon) or reactive gases as needed. Gas flow and switching are fully controlled by the software, with straightforward connections via a standard 6 mm gas inlet, and safe operation ensured by maintaining gas pressure between 0.2 - 0.5 MPa.
Q: When is cooling required, and how quickly does the instrument cool down?
A: Rapid cooling is crucial after high-temperature experiments to prepare for new samples or maintenance. This analyzer cools from 1000C to 100C in less than 30 minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing laboratory efficiency.
Q: Where can the data output from the system be accessed and what formats are available?
A: All measurement data is easily exported via USB or RS232 interfaces in CSV or Excel formats using the instrument's dedicated Windows-compatible software, enabling seamless transfer and further analysis on external computers or laboratory management systems.
Q: What is the process for calibrating the Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer?
A: Calibration is handled automatically by the software. Routine calibration cycles can be scheduled to ensure consistent accuracy, using built-in calibration routines and reference materials, thus maintaining the high precision required for weight and temperature measurements.
Q: How does the enclosed ceramic furnace benefit my thermal analysis applications?
A: The enclosed ceramic furnace ensures uniform thermal environments, protects sensitive samples from external contamination, and provides resistance to chemical reaction, making it suitable for diverse material analyses involving both inert and reactive atmospheres.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this analyzer for research and quality control?
