Infrared spectrometer interface for thermogravimetric analysis

摘要

A thermogravimetric analysis flow cell interface unit has an elongated tubular cell body, glass inlet and outlet transfer lines integrally connected to the cell body for flowing a gas therethrough, a window element for allowing passage of an infrared radiation beam into and out of the cell body, and a mirror element for reflecting the radiation beam back through the cell body. The mirror element and the window element are assembled to the cell body in such a manner that the entire unit may be quickly disassembled and reassembled for easy cleaning and replacement. The flow cell assembly is adapted to interface a thermogravimetric analyzer and an infrared spectrometer.
