Method Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is one of the most frequently employed thermal analysis methods. It can be used to analyze nearly any energetic effect occurring in a solid or liquid during thermal treatment. ■ Specific heat capacity ■ Melting and crystallization behavior ■ Solid-solid transitions ■ Polymorphism ■ Phase transitions/diagrams ■ Liquid crystal transitions ■ Eutectic purity Degree of crystallinity ■ Glass transition temperatures ■ Cross-linking reactions ■ Oxidative stability ■ Decomposition onset ■ Compatibility ■ Purity Determination ■ Thermokinetics

Reference signal Sample signal Transition temperature Area A ~ Transition enthalpy Difference (from 0) ~ Mass · cp Signal generation in a heat flux DSC The DSC 404 F1 and F3 Pegasus® systems operate according to the heat flux principle. With this method, a sample and a reference are subjected to a controlled temperature program (heating, cooling or isothermal). The actual measured properties are the temperature of the sample and the temperature difference between sample and reference. From the raw data signals, the heat flow difference between sample and reference can be determined. The DSC...

Various Sensors Unique Sensor Adjustment System The DSC 404 F1/F3 Pegasus® instruments are generally used to obtain accurate specific heat (cp) measurements. However, the systems allow for simple DTA measurements or conventional DSC tests as well. DTA sensors can be used for applications such as routine tests on aggressive sample substances. Various thermocouple types allow optimum sensitivity and time constants in all temperature ranges. The sensors can easily be changed in less than a minute by the operator. For optimizing the baseline, a micrometer adjustment system is integrated into...

Atmosphere – Mass Flow Controllers Vacuum-Tight Design – Optimum Atmosphere Control In the DSC 404 F3 Pegasus®, the purge or reactive gas flow is generally controlled via frits, manual control systems or tailor-made mass flow control systems (MFCs). The DSC 404 F1 Pegasus® comes standardequipped with integrated metal-housed mass flow control systems for three different gases. Both MFC systems allow software-controlled gas switching and purge gas rates as well as recording of the flow rates in the software. The DSC 404 F1/F3 Pegasus® instruments stand out as first-rate vacuum-tight...
