Simultaneous Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Thermogravimetric Analysis (SDT)

AMI uses a TA Instruments Discovery SDT 650.

The SDT combines DSC and TGA into one instrument. It measures both heat flow and weight changes in a material as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere. 

Specifications
Temperature Range	Ambient to 1500 °C
Dynamic Temperature Precision	±0.5 °C
Heating Rate (Linear)	0.1 to 100 °C/min
Calorimetric Accuracy/Precision	±2% (based on metal standards)
Heat Capacity Accuracy	±5%
Sample Weight Capacity	200 mg

 

Typical methods include:

• ASTM E1868
• ASTM E2008
• ASTM D6375
• ASTM E1131
