Thermogravimetric analyzers measure changes in mass or weight in response to increases in temperature or time. These kinds of measurements can give valuable information about a material's thermal stability, response to oxidation, composition, decomposition kinetics, moisture content, and more. Thermogravimetric analyzers thus have applications for many types of studies such as materials science research, studies of reaction kinetics, and determining the durability of materials used to make space craft.
Some things to consider when purchasing a thermogravimetric analyzer include the type of samples the machine is optimized for, sample weight, temperature range, ease of calibration, and analysis and cool down times.

The DTG-60's X-shaped fulcrum provides a balance with both high sensitivity and an excellent vibration-proof structure that is uniquely capable of performing differential weight measurements. Additionally, the incorporation of new A/D technology allows the DTG- 60/60H balance to operate over a very large dynamic mass range.
DTG-60/60H provides a true DTA setup. The sample and the reference position are located at the ends of detectors located on the balance beam. This arrangement provides a differential balance system that minimizes baseline drift caused by buoyancy or convection during the heating process, thus ensuring a stable baseline even at high temperatures.
The built-in cooling fan and the low-mass furnace provide short, efficient cooling times. After the completion of the measurement, the cooling starts automatically and stops when the furnace has reached a preset temperature. After auto-cooling, the next analysis can be started automatically. Cyclic and cooling runs are under full instrument control.
The TA-60WS thermal controller provides advanced acquisition, analysis, and report functions which ensure comprehensive simultaneous measurements....
