ASTM E2549 Simultaneous TGA-FTIR for Decomposition Gas Analysis: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ASTM E2549, Simultaneous Thermogravimetry and Infrared Spectroscopy for Decomposition Gas Analysis, is a widely recognized standard that governs the testing of materials for their decomposition behavior. The standard is published by ASTM International, a non-profit organization that develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of industries.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is based on national and international standards. In Europe, for example, the European Standard EN 15408-1:2019 Thermogravimetry - Part 1: Determination of thermal decomposition temperature provides guidelines for thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in conjunction with other techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Similarly, in North America, ASTM E2549 is recognized as a standard method for evaluating the thermal stability of materials.

International standards development organizations play a crucial role in shaping the testing procedures and methods. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) are prominent players in this field. They develop and publish international standards that are adopted by countries worldwide.

Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge, and existing ones are updated to reflect changes in testing methodologies. ASTM E2549, for instance, has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 2006. The standard committee responsible for maintaining the standard ensures that updates are made regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective.

    2. Equipment setup: The thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) are set up according to the manufacturers instructions and ASTM E2549 guidelines.

    3. Testing conditions: The TGA is programmed to heat the sample at a specific rate, typically 5C/min, while the FTIR measures the decomposition gases released.

    4. Data collection: The TGA and FTIR data are collected simultaneously and stored for further analysis.

    The testing conditions include:

  • Temperature range: 25-800C

  • Heating rate: 5C/min

  • Sample weight: 10-50 mg

  • Gas flow rate: 20-100 mL/min

    • The equipment used includes:

  • Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)

  • Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR)

  • Data acquisition system (DAS)

    • Conclusion

    ASTM E2549 Simultaneous TGA-FTIR for Decomposition Gas Analysis testing is a critical component of material characterization and product development. By understanding the thermal stability of materials, manufacturers can ensure their products meet regulatory requirements, maintain quality standards, and reduce warranty claims and liability.
