Moisture Sorption Measurements over a Wide Range of Temperatures with the IGAsorp-HT

The IGAsorp-XT from Hiden Isochema is a device used for moisture sorption measurements at different temperatures.

The device is a high temperature version of a typical IGAsorp. It allows accurate and rapid analysis of kinetics and uptake mechanism involved in moisture sorption at high temperatures. The IGAsorp-XT is integrated with a unique sample thermostating technology, which allows it to set a greater partial vapour pressure compared to IGA or IGAsorp models.

Key Features

The main features of the IGAsorp-XT are:

Fully automated system which perfoms isothermal, isochoric and temperature-programmed experiments

User protection function enables sample loading at elevated temperatures

Linear ramp temperature control for thermogravimetric studies up to 350°C

Isothermal temperature measurement and control range from 5°C to 250°C

High-resolution control of water partial pressure at high temperature

Large capacity microbalance with 0.1 µg resolution and long-term stability

Applications

Pore filling determination

Geological science

Fundamental water sorption studies
