THASYS thermal conductivity measurement system

THASYS offers measurement of the thermal conductivity or total thermal resistance of plastics, composites and electrical insulation / interface materials. THASYS works according to the ASTM 1114-98 standard; providing an accurate, fast, uncomplicated and absolute measurement. It consists of a Thin Heater Apparatus (THA01) and a Measurement and Control Unit (MCU). Employing a specially designed high accuracy thermopile sensor, THA01 can handle thin sample materials. (typically 0.1 to 6 mm, but sometimes down to 0.01mm). The method is considered superior to procedures according to ASTM D5470. Using a climate chamber a large temperature range can be covered, performing measurements at regular intervals. THASYS is fully PC controlled. For use with high thermal conductivity thin foil materials a different model, type THISYS, is available.
