A Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) in Saudi Arabia is used to measure changes in material weight as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere. Laboratories rely on TGA testing to evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, oxidation resistance, and material composition.
Qualitest provides advanced TGA systems designed for petrochemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, academic, and industrial laboratories operating across Saudi Arabia.
What a Thermogravimetric Analyzer Measures
A TGA instrument continuously records mass change while heating, cooling, or holding a sample at a constant temperature. This enables you to analyze:
- Thermal stability and degradation temperatures
- Moisture and volatile content
- Filler and additive composition
- Ash and inorganic residue
- Oxidation behavior under air or oxygen
- Reaction kinetics and decomposition stages
Because TGA provides quantitative weight-loss data, it is widely used for material characterization and quality verification.
