Raw data in, clean plot out — the messy start is handled for you
Real TGA runs rarely start clean: there is usually an initial moisture-drying / equilibration segment where the mass drifts below 100% before the actual heating ramp begins. You do not need to trim or correct any of this — the tool does it automatically:
- Detects where the true heating ramp starts and discards the unstable drying/equilibration segment before it.
- Re-normalizes the weight to 100% at a stabilized reference point (default 50°C = 30°C ramp start + 20°C offset; both adjustable in Settings), so early moisture loss doesn’t distort your curve.
- Holds the curve flat at 100% before the reference point, so residual drift never shows up as a false early weight loss.
- Finds Td5% and Td10% by interpolation and reads the residue at the final temperature — values are shown on the plot and listed in the side panel.
- Places every label automatically so they never overlap each other, the curves, or the legend.
