STA - Simultaneous Thermal analyze

​​​​​​
A simultaneous thermal analyzer, also known as STA, is a powerful analytical instrument used in material science and research. This sophisticated device combines the capabilities of both Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to provide simultaneous measurements of a material's weight change and heat flow as a function of temperature or time.
The STA operates by subjecting the sample to controlled temperature ramps while simultaneously measuring its weight and heat flow. This allows researchers to study various thermal properties of materials, such as phase transitions, decomposition, oxidation, and other chemical reactions. By analyzing the weight loss or gain and heat flow data, valuable insights into the thermal stability, composition, and behavior of materials can be obtained.
One of the key advantages of using an STA is its ability to provide complementary information from the combined TGA and DSC measurements. This comprehensive approach enables a deeper understanding of the thermal behavior of complex materials, including polymers, composites, pharmaceuticals, and inorganic substances. Researchers can gain insights into the thermal degradation kinetics, glass transition temperatures, melting points, crystallization processes, and other thermal events that are crucial for material characterization and quality control.
In addition to its research applications, simultaneous thermal analysis is also widely used in industrial settings for the development and optimization of new materials, as well as for troubleshooting and failure analysis. The data obtained from STA experiments can aid in the formulation of advanced materials with tailored thermal properties, improved stability, and enhanced performance for specific applications.

Overall, the simultaneous thermal analyzer plays a vital role in advancing scientific knowledge and technological innovation across various industries. Its ability to provide comprehensive thermal characterization makes it an indispensable tool for researchers, engineers, and quality control professionals seeking to understand and optimize the thermal behavior of materials.
Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) at Dama Pajouh Arvin Co. adheres to recognized standards such as ISO 11358, ASTM E793, DIN 51004, DIN 51006, and DIN 51007. 
This methodology involves the concurrent application of Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to analyze a single sample within a unified instrument. This approach enables comprehensive insights into the thermal properties and behavior of materials, facilitating precise characterization and informed decision-making in various industrial applications.
