The DTA Differential Thermal Analyzer easures
temperature differences sample/reference as a function of
Temperature or time. The thermocouples monitor the
temperature differential between the sample and an inert
reference as the sample undergoes a transition or reaction.
This temperature differential is reported in differential
temperature on the Y axis and temperature or time on the x
axis. The Analyzer can be calibrated with reference standard
materials for operation in the DSC mode. The design of the
DTA systems lend themselves to the higher temperature
applications. Its reproducibility is excellent and the signal to
noise ratio is excellent due to precision electronics.
Equipped with one of the DTA systems and the thermal
analysis software, an analyst can measure transition
enthalpies, glass transitions temperatures and more.
