5. Replace the tare tube.
Before running any experiments on the TGA
you must tare the sample pans to ensure that the
weight measured by the balance reflects the
weight of the sample only. You should tare the
sample pans before each experiment, even if you
use the same set of pans in consecutive experi-
ments.
Taring the
Sample Pans
When you tare the sample pans, the TGA reads
the weight of the empty pans in their numbered
order and then stores these weights as a set of
offsets. These offsets are subtracted from
subsequent weight measurements for each
numbered sample. You can tare the pans
manually or automatically as explained here.
View the Autosampler log, found on the Instrument
Control software, after taring to determine which pan, if
any, does not tare during the procedure (Error 118). If
a tare error occurs, replace the pan and manually
retare it.
