Decomposition Kinetics and Long-Term Stability According to ASTM E1641 and E1877

To determine the activation energy of the decomposition reaction using dynamic TGA measurements according to the ASTM E1641 test method. This is used in the ASTM E1877 test method for estimating the isothermal long-term stability (thermal endurance) of the material, e.g. at the operating temperature or the soldering bath temperature.
