I have been perfoming some DSC analyses in Netzsch polyma and I use the Netzsch proteus to data analyses. So, I calc the area under the peak using the software, but the area was expressed in microvolts by micrograms (uVs/mg) but I need the area in joules (J/g). Does anyone can help me? Its possivel corvert this unit in the software?
Proteus software always integrates over time. Even it is shown with X-Temperature.
I believe it should be possible to change the settings of the DSC to get the units of the y-axis as mW/mg (or W/g) then the peak area will be calculated as J/g automatically. If not you may calculate the conversion factor by comparing the peak area (in uVs/mg) of a calibration run (e.g. with Indium) with the literature value given with the calibration substance.
Thank's everyone, I had a problem with the calibration sensitivity, I will perform this, and then I will convert the y-axis to mW/mg as suggestions.
May I know how did you use calibration sensitivity? I have the same problem with our TGA , Thanks
