Introduction to Thermal Analysis and Surface Area Measurement

Product details

This free online course will introduce you to thermal analysis certification as a technique commonly used to understand construction materials. You will learn about the thermal methods the application of thermal analysis in the study of construction materials and how these applications or techniques are used to understand construction materials. This will lead you into differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as the techniques and applications of DSC. Also you will learn about the types of differential scanning calorimetry the difference between differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.The course then enlightens you on the concept of surface area measurements performed on construction materials. You will gain an understanding of the reason for surface area measurement laser diffraction data analysis as well as the surface area from laser diffraction. Next you will study gas adsorption and BET theories. This will lead you into particle size distribution and specific surface area as typical aspects of surface area measurement training.Finally you will learn about spherical primary particles irregular primary particles agglomerates and aggregates. Also you will learn about powder sampling representative sample sieving apparatus and analysis. Next you will be informed on how to determine surface area adsorption of a gas on the surface and the influence of degassing temperature. Furthermore you will learn how you can report a specific surface area. Start learning today!
