Product Information

Ashing Furnace AAF-BAL

General Information
The AAF-BAL thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) furnace incorporates an integral
balance. It can be used for loss on ignition applications where weight change of the
sample must be monitored during the heating process.

The AAF-BAL ashing furnace is fitted with an integral balance and can be used for
loss on ignition (LOI) applications. Weight change of the sample is monitored
during the heating process and this is required, for example, in the determination of
organic matter content in materials such as sediment, sludge, soil and waste.
Inorganic materials such as cement, lime, calcinated bauxite and refractories can
also be tested.

Standard features
Carbolite Gero 301 single ramp to setpoint & process timer
Protection of the elements from carbon build-up or corrosive atmosphere,
using silicon carbide tiles
2 sided heating
Balance runs independently of the furnace control system
Software supplied with the balance could be used to monitor the balance
reading via a computer
Maximum capacity of balance is 3 kg with a resolution of 0.01 g (other
capacities available)

Options (specify these at time of order)

Advanced version: The balance is linked to a 3508P1 temperature
controller and both temperature and weight can be logged against time
using iTools software
A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers
and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232, RS485 or
Ethernet communications
Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents &
for unattended operation)
8 kg balance with a resolution of 0.1 g
