TA Instruments – Thermal Analysis – High-Pressure Thermogravimetric Analyzers
TA Instruments is the world’s leading supplier of HP-TGA instruments.
Collect the most accurate weight data with easy-to-use HP-TGA systems, capable of measuring diverse materials in controlled high-pressure environments.
TA Instruments offers the world’s most comprehensive line of High-Pressure Thermogravimetric Analyzers, equipped with TA’s proprietary Magnetic Suspension Balances. Discovery HP-TGA and DynTHERM TGA are designed for scientists who need to accurately weigh their materials in the widest range of temperature and pressure in reactive atmospheres or steam.
Adding the 3rd Dimension to Thermogravimetry
Standard thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is frequently applied to measure the weight of a material as function of temperature, but standard TGA does not provide sufficient information under extreme conditions. Many materials are exposed to not only high pressure, but also humidity or reactive gas atmospheres in their normal use. In these cases, testing materials with high-pressure TGA provides a genuine assessment of stability, decomposition and lifetime.
