Oak Wood — Evolved Gas Analysis (GC-MS)

TG-DTG-T plot of oak wood, 4.37 mg, N2, event-controlled triggering of the GC-MS run at 291°C and at 347°C (DTG threshold 8 %/min; temperature stops until GC-MS run is finished).

Detailed analysis of the gas composition is achieved by the GC furnace program: IsothermalTests at controlled and constant temperature are called isothermal.isothermal 60°C for 0.5 min, linear heating to 310°C at 25 K/min.
