thermobalance, calorimeter
The device is equipped with a scale with a resolution of 0.1 µg and an air-cooled furnace with rhodium heating elements, allowing for testing in the temperature range from RT to 1550°C, in an inert or oxidizing atmosphere. The furnace's rhodium heating elements ensure precise determination of the specific heat in the temperature range up to 1500°C. Heating of the tested samples is possible at rates from 0.001 to 50 K/min. The Netzsch analyzer can be additionally connected to the QMS quadruple mass spectrometer, which allows the identification of gaseous molecules with masses up to 300amu. The S-type DSC carrier enables the identification of thermal effects activated in the sample under the influence of heating/cooling, the accuracy of determining the melting enthalpy is 1% (for Indium). Approximate volume of analyzed samples: TG: max 10ml, DSC: 0.19ml, DTA: 0.9ml.
In the case of projects/grants conducted in cooperation with other AGH departments/groups and external organizations in which the device operator/attendant is a member of the team publishing the research results the infrastructure is made available free of charge. In other cases, the access to the infrastructure is payable in accordance with the current cost of operating the device and the operator's labor cost. In both cases, the cost of the input material is covered by the commissioning pa
