Thermal Analyzers

Thermal analysis encompasses a suite of scientific techniques used to investigate the physical and chemical properties of materials as a function of temperature. Thermal analysis includes techniques that examine the physical and chemical properties of materials as temperature changes.

• Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measures mass changes, indicating composition and phase transitions.

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tracks heat flow to study phase changes and stability.

• Differential thermal analysis (DTA) compares sample and reference temperatures to detect transitions and reactions.

• Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) monitors dimensional changes such as expansion or shrinkage to assess mechanical behavior like expansion and softening.

• Evolved gas analysis (EGA) identifies gases released during heating, revealing decomposition and thermal reactions.

These methods are essential and widely used in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, chemicals, ceramics, and metals.
