Understanding Ash Analysers
Ash analysers, including thermogravimetric ash analysers, are laboratory instruments used to determine the ash content and composition of materials such as coal, biomass, food, and polymers by precisely measuring weight changes during controlled heating. Thermogravimetric methods allow accurate, reproducible analysis of organic and inorganic residues, helping to assess material quality, calorific value, and combustion properties. Widely used in material testing, energy production, food science, and industrial quality control, ash analysers provide rapid, automated, and reliable measurements, supporting regulatory compliance, process optimisation, and research applications in laboratories and production facilities.
