Thermogravimetric analyzer for ash and moisture content analysis
In laboratories and production environments, determining the ash and moisture content of materials like coal, coke, building materials, and food can be critical. Challenges typically include the need for precise measurements across multiple samples and maintaining consistent conditions throughout the analysis.
Measures ash, moisture, and volatiles precisely
The ELTRA TGA Thermostep ML is a robust thermogravimetric analyzer designed to measure parameters such as ash, moisture, and volatiles at user-defined temperatures and atmospheres. It can process up to 19 samples in a single analysis cycle with sample weights up to 5 g. The programmable ceramic furnace, integrated with a precise weighing cell, ensures fast heating rates and accurate temperature control up to 1000 °C. The analyzer supports various purging gases like nitrogen and oxygen, allowing flexibility for different sample atmospheres. Additionally, the PC-controlled system simplifies operation via windows®-based software, providing reliable data processing and customizable screen layouts. The TGA Thermostep ML is compliant with ASTM D 7582, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including agriculture, biology, chemistry, food, and geology.
