TGA Testing Laboratories

Applied Technical Services is one of the leading TGA testing laboratories in North America. We conduct TGA testing through our chemistry labs, where we conduct several testing methods to ensure our testing services are under acceptable standards. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is a test used to measure the stability of a material and measure how the weight changes while undergoing extreme temperatures. Our labs perform TGA Testing Services on polymers, rubbers, composites, filler, laminates, and elastomers. These analyses can meet standards such as ASTM and ISO, including ASTM E1131 and ISO 11358, to ensure accurate results. Thermogravimetric analysis relies on three measurements: weight, temperature, and temperature change. The equipment used during the TGA Testing is a thermogravimetric analyzer which consists of two pans: a sample and a precision balance pan. These pans are heated or cooled during an experiment, providing data on whether the material is stable or not. Experts must do TGA testing under a controlled nitrogen environment.
