Description
The thermogravimetric analyzer TGA PT1000 for thermogravimetric applications is a toploading Thermobalance, which offers a highly userfriendly design. Even at a sample weight of up to 5 or 10g the tara is done electronically. The specially designed furnaces allow fast heating and cooling rates as well as a highly precise temperature control. The system can be optionally equipped with a coupling device for EGA (Evolved Gas Analysis). The instrument is highly suitable for thermal composition, thermal stability and oxidation studies.
The (optional) calculated DTA signal provides important additional information regarding endothermal or exothermal reactions. Furthermore it can be used as a tool for temperature calibration.

Software
All LINSEIS thermogravimetric instruments are PC controlled. The individual software modules exclusively run under Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. The complete software consists of 3 modules: temperature control, data acquisition and data evaluation. The 32 bit software incorporates all essential features for measurement preparation, execution, and evaluation of a Thermogravimetric measurement. Thanks to our specialists and application experts, LINSEIS was able to develop comprehensive easy to understand user friendly application software.
