9、ion oftemperature or time,or both.In macro thermogravimetricanalysis,a sample size of approximately 1 g is used.All massmeasurements are conducted by the system.In a typicalanalysis,the temperature is normally ramped from ambient toa specific temperature and held at that temperature for aprescribed
10、length of time.The mass change is recordedrepeatedly during the entire procedure.For the thermogravi-metric analysis of coal and coke samples the moisture and ashanalyses are complete when the sample reaches a constantmass as defined in the instrumental operating parameters.Alternatively,the measure
