THERMAL ANALYSIS

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)/ Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)/ Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)

DSC / DTA


DTA - Differential Thermal Analysis - & DSC - Differential Scanning Calorimetry - measure, respectively, the temperature difference and the heat flow difference between a sample and a reference material (subjected to the same temperature variation in a controlled atmosphere).
DTA detects any change in all categories of materials; DSC determines the temperature and heat of transformation.
SETARAM Instrumentation offers:
- the widest temperature range of all DTA systems (from –150°C to 2400°C°) using high-precision tri-couple probes;
- the most complete choice of DSCs (from Q&C system to the highest sensitivity DSC, and 3D-Sensor Inside DSC).
Properties measured by DTA / DSC include phase changes, glass transition, melting, purity, evaporation, sublimation, crystallization, pyrolysis, heat capacity, polymerization, denaturation / aggregation, compatibility, etc.


High Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) & Calorimetry

High Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) & Calorimetry

High Pressure DSC & Calorimetry


With a high pressure DSC (or calorimeter), users are able to investigate materials and reactions under pressures as high as 1000 bars! In our solutions, the analysis chamber containing the sample (vessels, crucibles)is the only part under pressure. We have designed a gas panel capable of working under hydrogen.


Thermogravimetry (TGA)

Thermogravimetry (TGA)

TGA


Thermogravimetry (TGA) measures weight changes in a material (subjected to temperature variation in a controlled atmosphere).
All SETARAM Instrumentation's balances satisfy the highest accuracy and stability criteria.
Properties measured by thermogravimetry (TGA) include corrosion, pyrolysis, adsorption / desorption, loss of solvent, oxidation / reduction, hydration / dehydration, decomposition, carbon black, etc,.


Simultaneous Thermogravimetry & Differential Scanning Calorimetry / Differential Thermal Analysis

Simultaneous Thermogravimetry & Differential Scanning Calorimetry / Differential Thermal Analysis

STA or TGA - DSC / DTA


For TGA-DSC, a DSC probe is attached to the balance to perform simultaneous TGA (thermogravimetry) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) analysis of the same sample.
Simultaneous TGA and DSC measurements - STA - offer more information than separate measurements with two different systems.
SETARAM Instrumentation's range includes unique high temperature systems up to 2400°C and innovative coupling between symmetrical microbalance and 3D-Dimension DSC.


Couplings / Gas Analysis

Couplings / Gas Analysis

TGA coupled with QMS or FTIR


Coupling of a gas analyzer (QMS : Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, FTIR : Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectrometer, GC : Gas Chromatograph, etc.) to the TGA (Thermogravimeter) facilitates identification of emitted vapors and understanding of transformation mechanisms.
SETARAM Instrumentation has developed several systems to optimize coupling between TGA (Thermogravimetry) and gas analysis:
- SuperSonic System offering unparalleled measurement capabilities for TGA coupled to MS.
- Capillary System to simplify your TGA-MS and TGA-FTIR measurements.
Our thermal analyzers have also been successfully coupled with GC, BET, or X-Ray apparatus.


Thermo Mechanical Analysis (TMA) / Dilatometry

Thermo Mechanical Analysis (TMA) / Dilatometry

TMA


ThermoMechanical Analysis - TMA - measures the deformation of a sample under non-oscillating stress against time or temperature, with programmed temperature.
The vertical design of SETARAM Instrumentation's TMA systems makes it possible to work with very low loads applying only negligible force to the sample.
Properties measured by ThermoMechanical Analysis -TMA -include thermal expansion coefficients, softening, sintering, glass transition, etc.


Gas Humidity Generator

Gas Humidity Generator

Humidity is known to significantly affect the stability of many materials . SETARAM has developed the WETSYS controlled humidity generator to evaluate these effects.

    Boston, MA - USA

    We will also be holding a workshop on November 4th entitled:

    An Introduction to Assesment of Batteries & Materials Using Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis

    A seminar designed to help understand the applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis in the assessment of batteries, cells and materials development. This includes everything from screening materials, to self discharge and of course abuse and overcharge testing.

    The agenda is a series of presentations that introduce the techniques, principles of operation and key measurement capabilities of different techniques as well as a review of data and publications in the recent months that describe experimental procedures being applied today throughout the battery world.

    Marseille, FRANCE

    This conference will follow the very successful 2008 conference that was held in Augsburg. The conference 2010 will be organized in Marseille at a central location overlooking the old port. The aims of MOF2010 are to address all questions concerning the community working with Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal Coordination Compounds and related materials. The spectrum of topics to be treated range from synthesis and characterization of new materials to properties of materials towards potential applications in biology/medicine, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence and sorption. Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be dealt with, along with key questions pertaining to potential industrial applications of this fascinating family of materials.
