POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THERMOGRAVIMETRY

Continuous thermogravimetry is a common method to test materials in ga seous corrosive environments at high temperatures and to elucidate kin etics and mechanisms of high temperature corrosion. Recommendations ho w to conduct thermogravimetric tests are collected here, points to be considered including sample size and form, surface preparation, reacti on chamber, starting procedure, sensitive measurements, gas supply and dosing. This study is meant as a starting foundation for establishing guidelines in high temperature corrosion research.
