I have the output files from the DSC-TGA analysis of an inorganic salt. Could any one can comment or share files related to the calculation of melting point, latent heat, and specific heat from the DSC-TGA curves and excel sheet?
Dear Niyas,
I've tried to use OriginLab software to calculate the area of the peak in DSC cuve, which should be related to phase change latent heat.
We can make a DSC curve (W/g versus oC) when we copy all DSC data in OriginLab. Press "Analysis" - "Mathematics" - "integrate...". We could use this tool to calculate the peak area, and transport it to the latent heat by the followed equation.
ΔH (kJ/kg) = Area (W oC/g) / Temperature increasing velocity (oC/s)
I hope this can be useful for you.
Helo sir please mail me the paper or file. How to calculate these parameters
You can consult this site:

and general topics about DSC/TG/DTA analysis and measurement:

Thanks to all for your inputs
I have found a website which is useful for doing this

Is it possible to calculate latent heat, specific heat and melting point using Origin Pro software?
Can you send me the answer to this question please. My email is: [email protected]
Dear All
I was not able to sort it out with Excel and Origin Pro. But the values
can be extracted with the software given with the DSC-TGA Machine. In my
case, I was using NETZSCH STA 449 F1 Jupiter, which has the software
Proteus with it.
Please let me know if you come to know about the excel / origin pro procedure.
Good morning everyone,
Dear All,
I will try to answer.
In my experience, I have tried to open TGA/DSC files with excel / origin. In fact, Origin and excel can only plot the data that released by the machine, but can not calculate the melting point, latent heat, etc.
The solution: File must be opened by using the machine software. The software is already has facilities of calculation. In my case, I'm using a TGA/DSC 1 machine with the Mettler Toledo software.
Note: each machine has different software
