Thermal conductivity sensor Kapton

hot disc methodwith temperature measurement

While our Hot Disk® sensors can accommodate most measurement scenarios, our Hot Strip sensors can help tackle odd-shaped and/or limited-sized samples, e.g. rectangular slabs and rods with square cross-sections. Regarding anisotropic samples, Hot Strip sensors can be used to analyze the 3D Thermal Conductivity tensor of biaxial materials, whereas the Hot Disk sensors are limited to analyzing in-plane and through-plane Thermal Conductivity of uniaxial materials. Handling odd-shaped and limited-sized samples up to 400°C Our range of Kapton-insulated Hot Strip™ sensors for Isotropic, Anisotropic, Slab, One-dimensional and Structural Probe measurements, with an operating temperature from -253°C (20 K) up to 300°C (400°C in vacuum or oxygen-free environment), is listed in the following table, followed by images and detailed dimensions: All Kapton-insulated Hot Strip sensors can be acquired with or without attached cables. The standard polymer-clad cables can be used in a temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C while silicone-clad cables are available for use in the wider range of -60 °C to +180 °C. For cryogenic temperatures, thin-diameter silicone-clad cables are offered. Sensors without cable can be mounted in dedicated sensor holders for use up to 300 °C (400 °C in vacuum or oxygen-free environment).
