Thermal conductivity measuring instrument TPS 3500

temperaturedigitallaboratory

The Hot Disk TPS 3500 is the state-of-the-art instrument for testing the Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Diffusivity, Thermal Effusivity and Specific Heat Capacity of tiny, highly thermal conducting samples. The capabilities of the TPS 3500 go well beyond that of any other available instrument to date – Thermal Conductivity ranging from 0.005 to 1800 W/m/K, tackling 10-micrometer-thick slab samples, and accommodating temperatures from cryogenic to 1000ºC. It has also the unique ability to analyse the anisotropic thermal transport properties of both uniaxial and biaxial materials, by use of specialized Hot Strip sensors in the latter case. The TPS 3500 meets ISO 22007-2 and is CE marked. In addition, the TPS 3500 is a general-purpose R&D instrument capable of analysing thermal transport properties of any kind of solid or liquid. Solids suitable for testing with a TPS 3500 can be dense, porous or in powder form, isotropic or anisotropic, conducting or insulating, transparent or opaque. Liquids can be thick and sticky, low viscosity solvents or anything in between. As a badge of reliability the new TPS 3500 meets ISO 22007-2 and utilizes Hot Disk’s classic double spiral sensors for maximum accuracy. All this is achieved without the use of contact fluids, light-absorbing sample surfaces or fixed sample geometries. Each Hot Disk TPS 3500 is tailored according to application specifications and can be paired with a selection of temperature control accessories. To guarantee best possible performance, the controlling software is continuously updated and improved. Most accessories are also available for rapid acquisition.
