What are the benefits of ceramic crucibles for gas analysis?
Introduction
In many scientific and industrial fields, gas analysis plays a crucial role in determining the chemical composition of materials. For accurate and reliable results, the choice of crucible is essential. In this article, we list several advantages that will make ceramic your ally for gas analysis!
High temperature resistance
Ceramic crucibles can withstand extreme temperatures, often in excess of 1600°C. This capability is essential for thermal analysis and procedures involving complete combustion of samples, without risk of deformation or degradation of the crucible.
Excellent chemical inertness
Since ceramic crucibles are highly chemically inert. This guarantees the absence of contamination and ensures reliable results by avoiding any undesirable interaction with the gases analyzed.
Low parasitic gas emissions
High-purity ceramic crucibles emit very little residual gas during heating. This is crucial to prevent interference and guarantee accurate measurements, especially when analyzing gases such as carbon or sulfur.
Conclusion
Ceramic crucibles are ideal for gas analysis, thanks to their high thermal resistance, chemical inertness and low parasitic gas emission. They deliver precise, repeatable results, guaranteeing reliable analyses. To choose the crucible best suited to your needs, please contact us or take a look at our range of crucibles!
