Digitalfire will shut down on June 26. I no longer have the authority to grant exemption to a section in the Terms and Conditions of using material in the Insight-Live account from which I built the source material. While there are ways to comply with the take-down order, they are beyond my means because of how complex and large the site has become in the past 35+ years. It has been a wild ride for a shy prairie boy, thanks to everyone for your support. Insight-live.com is not affected by this.

DTMP - Decomposition Temperature Test

While the ultimate decomposition achieved in ceramics is melting, many materials change their physical form in other ways prior to melting when they reach certain temperatures (i.e. the loss of crystal water, burning away of organics). Some materials go through multiple decompositional changes, each having its own chemistry.

Enter the temperature or range and a label for the event, for example:

245C: water of crystallization driven off

Variables

VAL - Value (V)
