Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) combines the methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) in one investigation.
With the help of STA simultaneous measurements of thermal effects and mass change of the sample in completely identical conditions are being held.
Scope of STA - metals, alloys, composite materials, plastics, rubber, fibers, coatings, ceramics, glass, building materials, medicines, food and so forth.
