STA PT 1000
STA (TG-DSC/DTA) Thermogravimetric Analyzer
Description
On point
The STA PT 1000 is designed for analyzing organic materials within a relatively low-temperature range, extending up to 1000°C. This top-loading Thermobalance, known as TG-DSC, boasts a user-friendly design that simplifies the process. It can handle sample weights of up to 10g with electronic taring capabilities, making it a highly convenient instrument. Thanks to its specially engineered furnaces, it can achieve rapid heating and cooling rates, while also ensuring precise temperature control.
For enhanced functionality, the system can be equipped with an optional coupling device for Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA). This instrument is particularly well-suited for conducting studies on thermal composition, thermal stability, and oxidation.
Key Features:
- Top-Loading Sub-Microgram Balance: The system includes a top-loading balance capable of handling minute sample quantities.
- Temperature Range: It can operate within a broad temperature range, starting from room temperature (RT) and going up to 1000°C (Sample Temperature).
- Exchangeable Measuring Systems: The STA PT 1000 offers the flexibility of using different measuring systems, including TG (Thermogravimetry) and DTA/DSC (Differential Thermal Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry).
In addition, the instrument can be optionally equipped with a sample robot featuring 42/84 positions. When combined with the automatic gas control and evacuating system, it enables long-term, unattended operation, enhancing its efficiency and convenience.

Applications
Application example: Vitriol of Copper
Inorganic salts release their crystal water initially. When Copper sulfate (Vitriol of Copper) is heated at a rate of 10°C per minute, the first TG stage reveals the removal of 4H2O molecules. Both TG and DTA analyses indicate that this curve comprises two distinct steps, with one immediately following the other. At approximately 250°C, the most tightly bound water molecules evaporate.
Application example: Decomposition of Rubber
In the initial stage of weight loss, the sample undergoes dehydration, resulting in a 9.27% reduction in weight. In the second step, conducted under a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere, volatile components are released through pyrolysis, accounting for a weight loss of 35.99%. In the third step, the atmosphere is switched to oxygen (O2), leading to the combustion of all organic components and a weight loss of 14.33%. The remaining portion, which constitutes 40.41% of the total weight, comprises inorganic components such as ashes, slake, or fillers.
