The Thermogravimetric analytical instruments at Intertek Automotive Research are operated by experienced chemists with expertise in TGA and data interpretation.

• TGA Analysis Capabilities:
  • The TGA lab analyzes granular solids, dusts and liquid samples
  • The TGAs are highly capable of running tests in a variety of modes
  • Intertek provides some interpretation of the data depending on the parameter set chosen
  • The TGA laboratory provides 24 hour testing services
  • The lab uses both standard and EGA furnace types, allowing temperature ranges from ambient to 1000 C with ramp rates up to 150 C per minute
  • The laboratory is able to run in 2 gas switch over mode or a single gas purged mode
• TGA-FTIR:
  • The laboratory offers FTIR and a gas cell which operated with a lab TGA instrument as required. The EGA furnace allows controlled gas flow at the exit for additional analysis of evolved gas from the sample, including FTIR
