STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES Simultaneous thermogravimetric differential thermal analyzer to measure thermophysical properties of materials, such as melting points, heats of fusion, heat capacity, and the characteristic heat of solid state phase transformations. Contractor shall provide a differential thermal analyzer capable of making measurements at temperatures from room temperature to 2400 (two thousand four hundred) degrees C. I n addition, the system must have the following characteristics as minimum requirements. Thermogravimetric analysis, analyzer will include a microbalance capable of weighing a 15 gram sample to a resolution of +/- 5 micrograms. The balance will be thermost atically controlled, and compensated to maintain a stable vertical position during measurement. Furnace construction, furnace will be constructed of tungsten and will not produce a carbon containing atmosphere. Hoists for furnace system required, hydrauli c or electric. Furnace power supply, floor mounted cabinet with nominal output power of 15 kVA, with output isolating transformer of 15 kVA. Software, system to include integrated process control software for data acquisition, storage, and evaluation in a Windows environment. High vacuum system, analyzer will be capable of vacuum with pressures of 10-6 Torr or below. Atmosphere, analyzer will be capable of helium, argon, or reducing atmospheres. Thermostatic control, analyzer will be equipped with a refri gerated bath liquid circulator with a cooling capacity of 260 W (at 20 degrees C) and a temperature stability of +/- 0.01 K. Programmable control and data acquisition, analyzer will be capable of programmable computer control of the heating and cooling pr ogram and data acquisition.
