Thermogravimetry is used in many industries as well as research. Ceramic industries, chemistry, polymer and building industries as well as energy storage, battery research and oil industry uses thermo gravimetric analyzers. Typical applications are the general investigation of thermal decomposition, ash or organic content determination, gravimetric sorption studies, thermal stability and oxidation studies, material analysis and many more. There are also special fields like nuclear research or high-pressure process studies that are using this technique.
Thermogravimetry is a key part of thermal analysis in general, following the international standards ASTM D 3850, E 914, E 1131, E 1868, DIN 51006 and ISO 7111, ISO 11358.
