Abstract
An apparatus and method for the temperature calibration of a thermogravimetric analyzer. The apparatus includes a crucible, a weight, and a corresponding metal foil. The metal foil supports the weight in the crucible until the melting point of the metal foil is reached. When the melting point of the foil is reached, the metal foil is no longer able to support the weight, causing the dropping of the weight in the crucible.
