Summary
A novel instrument for high temperature thermogravimetric measurements in atmospheres containing high water vapour contents was developed in a collaboration between Netzsch and Risø National Laboratory. The development of the instrument was initiated to facilitate the investigation of high temperature corrosion of steels in humidified atmospheres. The instrument consists of a standard thermal analyser unit, including a new water vapour furnace, balance and sample carrier. The design of the instrument is discussed and thermogravimetric measurements on a Fe78Cr22 steel are presented.
