  2. Thermogravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogravimetric_analysis

    Thermogravimetric analysis or thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes. . This measurement provides information about physical phenomena, such as phase transitions, absorption, adsorption and desorption; as well as chemical phenomena including chemisorptions, thermal decomposition, and ...

  3. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    A classical example is the decomposition of mercuric oxide to give oxygen and mercury metal. The reaction was used by Joseph Priestley to prepare samples of gaseous oxygen for the first time. When water is heated to well over 2,000 °C (2,270 K; 3,630 °F), a small percentage of it will decompose into OH, monatomic oxygen, monatomic hydrogen, O ...

  4. Thermal degradation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_degradation_of...

    The onset of thermal degradation dictates the maximum temperature at which a polymer can be used. It is an important limitation in how the polymer is manufactured and processed. For instance, polymers become less viscous at higher temperatures which makes injection moulding easier and faster, but thermal degradation places a ceiling temperature ...

  5. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    In TGA, the sample is loaded first before the increase of temperature, and the heating rate is low (less than 100 °C min −1). Macro-TGA can use gram-scale samples to investigate the effects of pyrolysis with mass and heat transfer. [4] [105]

  6. Control chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_chart

    Control charts are graphical plots used in production control to determine whether quality and manufacturing processes are being controlled under stable conditions. (ISO 7870-1) [1] The hourly status is arranged on the graph, and the occurrence of abnormalities is judged based on the presence of data that differs from the conventional trend or deviates from the control limit line.

  7. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    DSC can also be used to study thermal degradation of polymers using an approach such as Oxidative Onset Temperature/Time (OOT); however, the user risks contamination of the DSC cell, which can be problematic. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) may be more useful for decomposition behavior

  8. Thermal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_analysis

    Polymers represent another large area in which thermal analysis finds strong applications. Thermoplastic polymers are commonly found in everyday packaging and household items, but for the analysis of the raw materials, effects of the many additive used (including stabilisers and colours) and fine-tuning of the moulding or extrusion processing used can be achieved by using differential scanning ...

  9. Shewhart individuals control chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shewhart_individuals...

    In statistical quality control, the individual/moving-range chart is a type of control chart used to monitor variables data from a business or industrial process for which it is impractical to use rational subgroups. [1] The chart is necessary in the following situations: [2]: 231
