Components
The TGA 2050 has five major components,
illustrated in Figure 1.2:
• The balance, which provides precise
measurement of sample weight. The
balance is the key to the TGA system.
• The sample platform, which loads and
unloads the sample to and from the
balance.
• The furnace, which controls the sample
atmosphere and temperature.
• The cabinet, where the system
electronics and mechanics are housed.
• The heat exchanger, which dissipates
heat from the furnace.
