Wd. Emmerich et E. Post, SIMULTANEOUS THERMAL-ANALYSIS - MASS-SPECTROMETER SKIMMER COUPLING SYSTEM, Journal of thermal analysis, 49(2), 1997, pp. 1007-1012
A mass spectrometer coupling system for simultaneous TG/DSC/DTA-QMS me
asurements will be introduced that is capable of operation at temperat
ures up to 2000 degrees C. The coupling is maintained at a temperature
very close to that of the sample, minimizing condensation, and featur
es an extremely short gas flow path. The efficiency of this coupling s
ystem will be demonstrated through examples from the area of polymers,
ceramics, metallurgy and recycling.
