Features & Benefits

  • Ideal for measuring the thermal conductivity of plastic materials with maximum dimensions 300 mm x 300 mm.

  • The thermal conductivity is measured by placing the specimen between plates with two different temperatures.

  • The Heat Flow (F) and the thermal exchange coefficient (U) are shown on the display at the end of the test.

  • The maximum measurement values are: F=19,999.99 W/m2 and U=19.999 W/(m2K).

  • Working temperatures: -40°C to +90°C.

  • Optional equipment includes digital cyrostatic baths and certified reference samples.

  • Meets ISO and equivalent national standards.

It consists of a module, thermically insulated, inside which two radiant elements are housed, both suitable to reach different pre-set temperature values. The lower one is kept at a lower temperature as regards the upper one through an outside thermostatic unit. On same the thermic flow measurement probe is housed. Inside the probe there is also a sensor of superficial Tp, temperature of the lower side of the specimen. The upper one, kept at a higher temperature than the lower one by a separate outside thermostatic unit, houses the sensor of superficial temperature Tg of the upper side of the specimen.

This second radiant element is moreover adjustable height-wise to allow insertion of specimens of different thickness and is connected to a position sensor capable to visualize on a separate display the specimen thickness when in testing conditions with a 0.1 mm accuracy.
