THERMAL ANALYSIS
Thermal Analysis Instruments & Bomb Calorimeters
Thermal analysis instruments for DSC, TGA, STA, DTA, oxygen bomb calorimetry, thermal conductivity, and carbon black testing in research and QC laboratories.
Performance Selection Criteria
Choose an oxygen bomb calorimeter for gross heat of combustion of coal, coke, biomass and compatible fuels.
Start with DSC when the lab needs glass transition, melting, crystallization, curing, oxidation induction, or specific heat workflows.
Choose standard TGA for moisture, volatile content, thermal stability, ash content, oxidation behavior, and temperature-programmed mass change.
Use top-loading high-precision TGA when the workflow needs 0.001 mg sensitivity, stronger baseline stability, or FTIR/MS expansion.
