This brief overview of offline measurements can be concluded by considering the measurements of the heat released by chemical reactions, which can be obtained via calorimetric measurements [7, 18]. The most diffused industrial calorimeters are the so-called reaction calorimeters, basically consisting in jacketed vessels in which the reaction takes place and the heat released is measured by monitoring the temperature of the fluid in the jacket. A class of alternative instruments are the scanning calorimeters (differential or adiabatic), in which the analysis is performed by linearly increasing the sample temperature with respect to time, in order to test the reactivity of potentially unstable chemical systems in a proper temperature range by measuring the released heat.

Accurate enthalpies of solid-solid transitions and solid-liquid transitions (fiision) are usually detennined in an adiabatic heat capacity calorimeter. Measurements of lower precision can be made with a differential scaiming calorimeter (see later). Enthalpies of vaporization are usually detennined by the measurement of the amount of energy required to vaporize a known mass of sample. The various measurement methods have been critically reviewed by Majer and Svoboda [9]. The actual teclmique used depends on the vapour pressure of the material. Methods based on...

In a testing context, it refers to the first detection of exothermic-activity on the thermogram. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) has a scan rate of I0°C/min, whereas the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) has a sensitivity of 0.02°C/min. Consequently, the temperature at which thermal activity is detected by the DSC can be as much as 50°C different from ARC data.

In a differential scanning calorimeter, a sample and reference material are heated in separate, but identical, metal heat sinks. The temperatures of the sample and reference material are kept the same by varying the power supplied to the two heaters. The output is the difference in power as a function of heat added. 

The output of a differential scanning calorimeter is a measure of the power (the rate of energy supply) supplied to the sample cell. The thermogram in the third illustration shows a peak that signals a phase change. The thermogram does not look much like a heating curve, but it contains all the necessary information and is easily transformed into the familiar shape. 

A thermogram from a differential scanning calorimeter. The peak indicates a phase change in the sample, and the difference in base line before and after the phase transition is due to the difference in heat capacities of the two phases. 

Muscle activity is accompanied by cellular pumping of sodium ions. The energy requirements of the sodium pump have been studied on an individual cardiac muscle mounted inside a tiny differential calorimeter and stimulated by electrical impulses. The heat evolved was different in the presence and absence of a known inhibitor of the sodium pump. 

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) thermograms were obtained on a Perkin Elmer DSC-2 run at 10°C per minutes. Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) spectra were obtained on a Polymer Labs DMTA at a frequency of 1Hz with a temperature range from -150°C to +150°C at a scan rate of 5°C per minute. 

Thermal Analysis - Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the thermal properties of the polymers synthesized. DSC analysis was performed on a Perkin-Elmer Differential Scanning Calorimeter, Model 2C with a thermal analysis data station. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out on a DuPont thermal gravimeter, Model 951. From the DSC and TGA plots of poly (N-pheny 1-3,4-dimethylene-... 

Thermal Properties. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and the decomposition temperature (Td) were measured with a DuPont 910 Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) calibrated with indium. The standard heating rate for all polymers was 10 °C/min. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a DuPont 951 Thermogravimetric Analyzer at a heating rate of 20 °C/min. 

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can be performed in heat compensating calorimeters (as the adiabatic calorimetry), and heat-exchanging calorimeters (Hemminger, 1989 Speyer, 1994 Brown, 1998). 

Chemical compatibility and U.S. EPA Method 9090 tests must be performed on the synthetics that will be used to construct FMLs. Unfortunately, there is usually a lag period between the time these tests are performed and the actual construction of a facility. It is very rare that at the time of the 9090 test, enough material is purchased to construct the liner. This means that the material used for testing is not typically from the same production lot as the synthetics installed in the field. The molecular structure of different polymers can be analyzed through differential scanning calorimeter...
