TGA 2950 Components
The balance, the most important part of the
TGA system, provides precise measurement of
the sample weight. The sample loading assem-
bly automatically loads and unloads samples
from the TGA balance. The furnace controls the
sample atmosphere and temperature. The
cabinet contains the system electronics and
mechanics. The heat exchanger dissipates heat
from the furnace.
