Conventional <strong>DSC</strong> Cp Measurement<br />

Cp = K x<br />

HFS<br />

– HFMT<br />

Heat Rate x wt<br />

Where:<br />

K = Calibration constant<br />

HFS = <strong>Differential</strong> heat flow<br />

with sample<br />

HFMT = <strong>Differential</strong> heat flow<br />

with empty pans<br />

wt = weight of sample<br />
