Running Experiments
3–24 TA I
NSTRUMENTS
TGA 2050
Instrument Setup
Readjust your flowmeter(s) for standard
operating flow rates.
10 cc/minute flow into balance chamber and
90 cc/minute into the furnace.
Tare sample pan (as needed).
Load sample and close system
Purge 20 minutes, if possible, before
starting a run.
When run is complete, allow the furnace to
cool in the closed position. This can be
done by changing the method-end
conditions to leave the furnace closed at
method end.
When using air or oxygen during an
experiment, introduce new gas through
furnace purge port only and switch back to
the inert gas before cooling down.
When the TGA is idle, leave the system closed and
continue purging with the inert gas.
NOTE:
