The AAF-BAL thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) furnace incorporates an integral balance. It can be used for loss-on-ignition applications where the sample’s weight change must be monitored during the heating process.
The AAF-BAL ashing furnace is fitted with an integral balance and can be used for loss-on-ignition (LOI) applications. The weight change of the sample is monitored during the heating process. This is required, for example, in determining the organic matter content in sediment, sludge, soil, and waste. Inorganic materials such as cement, lime, calcinated bauxite, and refractories can also be tested.
Features
- 3216cc controller with single ramp to setpoint and process timer.
- Protection of the elements from carbon build-up or corrosive atmosphere using silicon carbide tiles.
- Balance runs independently of the furnace control system.
- Maximum capacity of balance is 3 kg with a resolution of 0.01 (other capacities available).
Options
- Advanced version for EPC3008P10 to data-log both weight and temperature. It is also necessary to select the following options: EPC3008P10 instrument (which includes Ethernet communication). Data logging is done via iTools software, which must be purchased separately.
- The advanced version of the nanodac can data-log both weight and temperature. It is also necessary to select the following options: nanodac instrument. Data logging is done in the nanodac and can be downloaded into the ‘Review Lite’ software, which is included with the nanodac. Data can be archived onto a USB flash drive or via Ethernet to a networked server.
- Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents and for unattended operation).
