1、Designation:E158214Standard Practice forCalibration of Temperature Scale for Thermogravimetry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1582;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice describe the temperature calibration ofthermogravimetric analyzers over the temperature range from25 to 1500C and is applicable to
3、 commercial and custom-builtapparatus.This calibration may be accomplished by the use ofeither melting point standards or magnetic transition standards.1.2 The mass change curve in thermogravimetry resultsfrom a number of influences,some of which are characteristicof the specimen holder assembly and
4、 atmosphere rather thanthe specimen.The variations from instrument to instrumentoccur in the point of measurement of the temperature,thenature of the material,its size and packing,the geometry andcomposition of the specimen container,the geometry anddesign of the furnace,and the accuracy and sensiti
5、vity of thetemperature sensor and displaying scales.These all contributeto differences in measured temperatures,which may exceed20C.In addition,some sample holder assemblies will showvariations of measured temperature with sample size orheating/cooling rate,or both.Since it is neither practical nora
6、dvisable to standardize sample holders or thermobalancegeometries,instruments may be calibrated by measurement ofthe deviation of a melting or magnetic(Curie Point)transitiontemperature from the standard reference temperature.Thisdeviation can be applied as a correction term to subsequentmeasurement
7、s.1.3 This practice assumes that the indicated temperature ofthe instrument is linear over the range defined by a two-pointcalibration and that this linearity has been verified.These twocalibration temperatures should be as close to the experimentalmeasurements to be made as possible.1.4 This practi
8、ce describes two procedures for temperaturecalibration of thermogravimetric analyzers using any typebalance.Procedure A uses melting point standards for calibra-tion.Procedure B uses magnetic transition standards forcalibration.NOTE1Since all electronic data treatments are not equivalent,the usersha
9、ll verify equivalency prior to use.1.5 The data generated by these procedures can be used tocorrect the temperature scale of the instrument by either apositive or negative amount using either a two-point tempera-ture calibration procedure or a multi-point temperature calibra-tion with best line fit
10、for the generated data.NOTE2A single-point calibration may be used where this is the onlyprocedure possible or practical.The use of a single-point procedure is notrecommended.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.
