ASTM E1131

Compositional Analysis by Thermogravimetry

Applicability: ASTM E1131 is a standard test method for compositional analysis by thermogravimetry, applicable to both solids and liquids. It determines the amounts of highly volatile matter, medium volatile matter, combustible material, and ash content.

Purpose: ASTM E1131 is a test method that uses thermogravimetry (TGA) to determine the composition of a material by analyzing its weight loss as it’s heated. It’s primarily used to quantify volatile matter, combustible material, and ash content in solids and liquids.
