Simultan thermal analyse, STA 449 Jupiter, Netzsch

Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) is a method of thermal analysis, witch makes possible to investigate variety of samples by two or three thermal-analytical methods. Usually those are thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Simultaneously the investigation can be done on processes based on energy difference (absorbing and relaxing heat under reaction) and investigation in mass change (oxidation, degradation etc.). STA measurement is a complex measurement, witch is recommended for determine physical – chemical properties of materials, especially new one. Simultaneously the modeling of technological processes can be done. STA analysis makes possible to determine characteristic temperatures (melting point, boiling point, allotropic modifications etc.), thermal effect (melting / solidification enthalpy, combustion heat etc.), specific heat Cp, loss or increment of mass etc.
