The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) and SGS provide thermogravimetric analysis lab services to measure changes in material mass under varying temperatures. This method supports material characterization, thermal stability assessment, and detection of decomposition, oxidation, or volatile content. ATS and SGS deliver laboratory testing to support material evaluation and product development.
Thermogravimetric analysis, or TGA, uses controlled temperatures to monitor changes in sample mass. The data helps laboratories and engineering teams assess material responses to thermal exposure. Testing parameters are customized to the material, application, and evaluation objectives.
Why Is Thermogravimetric Analysis Important?
Thermal behavior influences material performance, processing, storage, and service life. TGA testing offers quantitative data to inform material selection and formulation. A thermogravimetric analysis lab may assess characteristics such as:
- Thermal stability
- Decomposition behavior
- Moisture and volatile content
- Residual ash or inorganic content
- Oxidative stability
- Composition changes during heating
- Thermal degradation temperatures
This information helps identify differences between materials and supports comparisons between formulations. It also aids failure investigations where thermal exposure may have affected product performance.

What Can a Thermogravimetric Analysis Lab Determine?
TGA provides insight into material changes under controlled thermal conditions. Analysts evaluate mass-loss events over a selected temperature range and assess the resulting thermal profile. For example, testing can distinguish moisture loss from later thermal degradation. It also estimates the proportions of volatile, organic, and inorganic components in materials.
Results support material characterization, formulation comparisons, research, and troubleshooting. Combined with other analytical techniques, TGA data offers further insight into material composition and behavior.
