High sensitivity and high precision of balance is equivalent to dedicated single-function instruments

The DTG-60 series has a unique balance mechanism (Roberval mechanism) that prevents changes in sensitivity from factors such as thermal expansion and allows high-precision thermogravimetric measurements. Furthermore, the fulcrum used for the balance is made from thin alloy metal strips that have tiny thermal coefficients and are crossed to form an “x” shape. This fulcrum (X-shaped fulcrum) is lightweight and has extremely low friction and resistance. Using this fulcrum configuration allows incorporating a highly sensitive balance while attaining high resistance to vibration.

High sample throughput

The built-in cooling fan and the low-mass furnace allow very efficient cooling times. After the completion of the measurement, the cooling starts automatically and stops when the furnace has reached a preset temperature. Now the next analysis can be started. Cyclic and cooling runs are under full instrument control.

Fully controlled atmosphere for various applications

During TG/DTA measurements, qualitative and quantitative analysis, examination of reaction mechanisms and evaluation of heat resistance are performed by studying various reactions caused by the heating of samples under active and inert atmospheres. The unique channel structure of the DTG-60 series offers the solution for these applications. While an inert gas purges the balance, reactive gases are directly connected to the reaction pan.

DTG-60A/60AH provides a compact built-in autosampler

Up to 24 samples can be set up for analysis. In addition, the weight of the empty cell and sample can be measured automatically.
