    1. Prepare the sample according to the standards requirements.

    2. Set up the testing equipment, including the TGA and other necessary instruments.

    3. Control the testing environment, maintaining precise temperature and humidity conditions.

    4. Measure and analyze the weight loss of the sample as it is heated using the TGA.

    Testing Parameters and Conditions

    The following parameters and conditions are essential for this test:

    1. Temperature range: 20C to 800C

    2. Heating rate: 10C/min

    3. Atmosphere: Air or inert gas (e.g., nitrogen)

    4. Sample size: Typically 5-10 mg

    Measurement and Analysis Methods

    The TGA measures the weight loss of the sample as it is heated, providing data on its thermal stability.

    Test Report Requirements

    The test report must include:

    1. Summary of the test method

    2. Test parameters and conditions

    3. Results: Weight loss vs. temperature curve
