Thermal Conductivity Meter (Hot Disk) Analytical Service

Overview

A thermal conductivity meter is a device used to measure the thermal conductivity of materials. It can measure the thermal properties of a wide range of materials, such as metals, plastics, rubber, and graphite. It is widely used in fields like electronics, energy, and environmental sciences. For example:

1. Electronics:
   In the production of electronic components, controlling thermal conductivity directly impacts the stability and reliability of the components. By monitoring the thermal conductivity of materials in real time, potential issues can be identified and resolved promptly.

2. Energy:
   In the energy sector, thermal conductivity meters are mainly used to measure the thermal performance of various insulation materials and cooling systems. These devices help engineers optimize system designs and improve energy efficiency.

3. Environmental Science:
   Thermal conductivity meters are often used in environmental research to measure the thermal performance of soils and building materials. This information is crucial for assessing the impacts of climate change and designing effective environmental restoration strategies.

4. Building Science:
   In construction, thermal conductivity meters are used to measure the thermal performance of various building materials, providing guidance for building design and construction.

Sample Requirements

• Each test requires two samples of the same size, with at least one flat surface, sufficient to clamp the thermal probe.

• Low-conductivity material sample requirements:

  • Recommended dimensions: length and width > 20 × 20 mm, thickness > 3 mm.
  • If the thickness is less than 3 mm, provide multiple samples.
  • For high-conductivity materials such as metals: dimensions > 50 × 50 × 20 mm.

• Powder and liquid sample requirements:

  • Recommended quantity: 100–200 ml (minimum 15 ml). However, specific testing conditions may vary; if only the minimum quantity can be provided, please confirm with the project manager.

• Non-flat thin film sample requirements:

  • For insulating low-conductivity materials like fabrics and textiles, provide 4–12 pieces for layered testing. Layers should reach a total thickness of 2 mm for testing, with a diameter > 2 cm.
  • For flat thin film samples: dimensions > 30 mm × 30 mm × (10 µm–1 mm, preferably in micrometer precision), 2 pieces of the sample.

• Sample requirements for specific heat testing:

  • For solid samples: maximum thickness of 5 mm, diameter of 19 mm (preferably over 10 mm in diameter).
