Preparing the Samples
Selecting Sample
and Tare Pans
The Auto TGA can utilize the same types of
pans that are available for the TGA 2950
instrument.
When you are using the Auto TGA, it is possible
to prepare from 1 to 64 different samples. Each
sample platform can hold 16 numbered samples.
The four sample platforms are numbered in the
following ranges:
· 1-16 samples
· 17-32 samples
· 33-48 samples
· 49-64 samples.
Once you have selected the type of pan that you
wish to use, you must use the same type of pan
for all of the samples on the sample platform
disk. The same type of pan that you use for
experiments must also be used as a tare pan.
Tare Pan
1. Obtain a pan of the same type and size to be
used for your experiments.
2. Remove the tare tube.
3. Use brass tweezers to hang the tare pan from
the tare hook.
4. Mechanically tare the balance using the first
step of the weight calibration procedure.
