Temperature measuring instrument DLF 1600

thicknessheat flow for thermal conductivity testingradiation

The Discovery Laser Flash DLF 1600 is an advanced freestanding instrument for the measurement of thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of materials from room temperature to 1600°C. The distinctive design incorporates a proprietary laser, laser optics, detector, and furnace technologies, and along with the unique patented high purity alumina five-position sample carousel, ensures unprecedented measurement accuracy and sample throughput. With the ability to be operated in a variety of atmospheric conditions, including air, inert gas, or under vacuum, the DLF 1600 can characterize a wide variety of materials including polymers, ceramics, carbons, graphite, composites, glasses, metals, and alloys. Powerful laser provides 40% more energy than any competitive design, for the most accurate testing to the highest temperatures and widest range of samples, regardless of thickness and thermal conductivity Proprietary fiber optic wand delivers 99% homogeneous beam for the most uniform delivery of radiation to the sample Patented* five-position carousel for unmatched throughput and superior heat capacity measurements Flexible carousel design, configurable with a variety of sample holders, adapters and special fixtures for the widest range of testing Advanced alumina muffle tube furnace for uncompromised temperature performance from RT to 1600°C and measurements in air, inert gas, or vacuum High sensitivity IR detector for optimum signal-to-noise ratio, delivering highest accuracy over the entire temperature range Real-time pulse mapping for superior thermal diffusivity of thin and highly conductive materials
