Calculation method
Calculation method
Observed mass loss (%)
100(before−after)/(before−crucible).
Initial sample mass (g)
Before−crucible.
Residue mass (g)
After−crucible; negative loss indicates mass gain.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Crucible and sample masses, heating stage. Returns Observed mass-loss percentage. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Empty crucible mass (g): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Crucible plus dry sample mass (g): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Crucible plus heated sample mass (g): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
