With
the new simultaneous thermal analyzer STA 409 PC Luxx®
it is possible to offer our well-proven quality at a very attractive
price. Mass changes (thermogravimetry), characteristic temperatures
and enthalpy changes (differential scanning calorimetry) can be determined
on one sample in one measurement.
The STA 409
PC Luxx®can offer even more possibilities:
top-loading
balance
it works between room temperature
and 1550°C,
easily exchangeable TG, TG-DTA and TG-DSC sensors with
different thermoelements,
a wide range of crucibles
made of various materials,
a very high sample capacity
of 18 g,
a variety of extension
possibilities
The STA 409 PC
Luxx®
is the ideal tool for research, development and quality assurance
of your products and materials.
A
state-of-the-art MS®Windows
(TM) software package is delivered with the instrument.
Application
Example: Aragonite
Aragonite
is a polymorphic modification of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
The sample tested here was a crystal with slight impurities
on the surface (exothermal peaks at 461 and 490°C). Due to the
impurities the mass loss during carbonate decomposition (43.71%)
is lower than the stoichiometrically calculated value (43.97%).
NETZSCH offers
precision thermal analysis instruments including advanced dilatometers (with
a new basic R&D/QC dilatometer),
classical DSC & TGA (with
a new economical DSC), high temperature DSC
to 1650°C for specific heat, very high temperature STA
(TGA-DSC/DTA) to 2400°C (featuring the new STA
409-PC Luxx®), thermal
/ evolved gas analysis with fully-integrated FTIR & MS, plus
high resolution TMA and DMA.
We also feature leading technology for thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurement
as well as refractories testing including HMOR, CIC, and RUL.
