The LFA 717 HyperFlash® is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to accurately measure the
Thermal Diffusivity
Thermal diffusivity (a with the unit mm2/s) is a material-specific property for characterizing unsteady heat conduction. This value describes how quickly a material reacts to a change in temperature.
thermal diffusivity of various materials. With its advanced calculation models, it is at the forefront of scientific innovation, ensuring accurate results essential for materials analysis.
Broad sample range: The LFA 717 HyperFlash® can accommodate a wide range of sample materials, including both round and square-shaped specimens. It features an automatic sample changer that can handle up to 16 samples simultaneously, increasing laboratory efficiency.
Flexible temperature control: The instrument offers remarkable flexibility in selecting the measurement range up to 500°C. Using liquid nitrogen, it can analyze samples at temperatures as low as -100°C. In addition, a compressed air unit allows subambient measurements down to 0°C. The integrated evacuation system permits measurements in defined atmospheres.
Advanced corrections specifically for thin or highly conductive samples: The latest version of our analysis software introduces an enhanced analysis pulse correction feature designed for high-precision applications where exceptional time resolution is critical. This enhancement is particularly beneficial when analyzing thin or highly conductive samples, and in situations where the light pulse coincides with the thermal response of the sample.
