Thermal material testing - Setsys Evolution 16

Device for thermal testing of materials SETSYS Evolution 16 (Setaram, France) allows the thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), - differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range from ambient to 1600oC.

TGA (TG ) - method, which measures the change in mass of the sample in a controlled atmosphere . This change can be characterized by its mass loss (separation pair) or increase ( gas absorption ) .

DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry ) - a method used for determining the variation of thermal flow emitted or received by the sample , which is subjected to thermal stresses in a controlled atmosphere. When heated or cooled , any change occurring in the material, accompanied by the exchange of heat: DSC to determine the temperature of this change and determine the amount of heat.

DTA ( Differential Thermal Analysis) - the method by which the temperature difference is measured between the test and control ( of a thermally inert material ) samples as a function of time and temperature when they are exposed to a temperature program in a controlled atmosphere. DTA method makes it possible to detect any changes for all categories of materials.

TMA ( Thermomechanical Analysis) - a method which measures the deformation of a sample under non-oscillatory load when it is subject to temperature effects in a controlled atmosphere. Imposed loads may be compression, tension and bending .
