A Multi-Functional Resistance Furnace for Industrial Thermogravimetric Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

A multi-functional resistance furnace has been invented. Its main components include a normal resistance furnace and an electronic balance outside the furnace. The weight of the sample being heated inside the furnace was transmitted through a set of attachments and measured by the balance. Both the real-time furnace temperatures and the sample weights were recorded by a computer. Thermogravimetric curves then can be obtained. The present setup is advantageous over the traditional commercial thermogravimetric analyzers in analyzing samples with a large mass. The multi-functional furnace is cheap and may find important industrial applications such as raw materials thermal analysis or products oxidation or anti-oxidation tests.
