Features of Q600
Thermobalance
- Accurate and reliable horizontal dual-balance
- Supports both DSC and TGA measurements
- Weight signal is the differential between the sample and reference beams
- Less drift compared to single-beam designs
- Independent TGA measurements on two samples simultaneously
Temp Control & Measurements
- Platinum/Platinum-Rhodium thermocouple pair
- Direct sample reference and differential temperature from ambient to 1500°C
- Superior ΔT accuracy compared to single-beam designs
- True differential heat flow signal
- Superior baseline performance
Furnace
- Rugged, bifilar-wound, horizontal furnace
- Accurate and precise heating rate ramps and isothermal operation
- Smooth automatic furnace opening/closing
- Easy sample loading
- Rapid post-experiment furnace cool-down
Purge Gas System
- Field-proven, horizontal purge gas system
- Dual digital mass flow controllers and gas switching capability
- Inconel® reactive gas inlet
- Easily interfaced to a MS or FTIR
- Better baselines with minimum buoyancy effects
