Thermal Analysers

High-Precision Thermal Analyzers for Accurate Heat Testing

Elite Thermal offers Thermal analysers for the analysis of Coal, Fuels and Minerals.

Elite Thermal has been manufacturing Ash fusion determinators for over ten years now and has recently launched their Thermogravimetric Analysers.

FAQ'S - Thermal Analyzers

1. What is a Thermogravimetric Analyser (TGA)?

A Thermogravimetric Analyser (TGA) is a laboratory thermal analysis instrument that measures changes in a material's weight/mass as a function of temperature and time under controlled atmospheric conditions.

It is widely used across laboratories for:

  • Moisture determination
  • Volatile matter analysis
  • Ash content measurement
  • Fixed carbon calculation
  • Loss on Ignition (LOI)

2. What parameters can Elite TGAs measure?

Elite Thermogravimetric Analysers accurately determine:

  • Moisture Content
  • Volatile Matter
  • Ash Content
  • Fixed Carbon
  • Loss on Ignition (LOI)

3. Do Elite' Thermal analysers comply with UK and European standards?

Yes. Elite systems are designed to comply with recognised UK and European standards, including:

  • ISO standards
  • EN standards
  • DIN standards
  • BS ISO methods
  • ASTM international standards

Compliance ensures reliable, repeatable and internationally comparable results.

4. What is Ash Fusion Testing?

Ash fusion testing, determines the deformation and melting behaviour of ash obtained from coal, coke, minerals, and biomass when heated under controlled conditions. The test helps predict how ash will behave inside furnaces or boilers and assess the risk of slagging and fouling.

5. Why is Ash Fusion Testing important in industry?

Ash fusion analysis supports:

  • Slagging risk assessment
  • Boiler performance optimisation
  • Fuel selection for EfW plants
  • Cement kiln efficiency
  • Biomass combustion analysis
6. What is a Multi-Tube Furnace?

A multi-tube furnace is a high-temperature laboratory furnace featuring multiple parallel work tubes, enabling simultaneous processing of multiple samples under identical thermal conditions.

7. How do multi-tube furnaces improve laboratory efficiency?
  • Increased throughput
  • Uniform temperature distribution
  • Reduced processing time
  • Energy-efficient heating
  • Consistent repeatable results

They are ideal for research institutions and industrial laboratories requiring high-volume sample processing.
