Abstract
A measuring arrangement and method for a thermal analysis of a sample, having a crucible for storing a sample in the crucible, as well as a sensor for measuring a sample temperature of the sample when the crucible is arranged on the sensor. To provide for a high level of reproducibility of measurements in the case of such a measuring arrangement and a method for the thermal analysis performed with the measuring arrangement, the measuring arrangement has an anti-rotation protection for the crucible, in order to provide a predetermined rotational position of the crucible with respect to the sensor when the crucible is arranged on the sensor. The invention includes a method for the thermal analysis of a sample, which is performed using such a measuring arrangement.
Claims17
A measuring arrangement for a thermal analysis of a sample, having:
- a crucible for storing a sample;
- and
- a sensor for measuring a temperature of the sample when the crucible is arranged on the sensor,
- characterized by an anti-rotation protection for the crucible in order to provide a predetermined rotational position of the crucible with respect to the sensor when the crucible is arranged on the sensor.
A method for the thermal analysis of a sample, comprising:
- temperature-controlling a sample arranged in a sample chamber according to a temperature program, in the course of which a chamber temperature in the interior of the sample chamber is changed,
- measuring a sample temperature of the sample in the course of the temperature program, and
- providing a measuring arrangement having:
- a crucible for storing a sample, and
- a sensor for measuring a temperature of the sample when the crucible is arranged on the sensor,
- characterized by an anti-rotation protection for the crucible in order to provide a predetermined rotational position of the crucible with respect to the sensor when the crucible is arranged on the sensor.
