Advanced Thermal Conductivity and Effusivity Measurements
At Anderson Materials, we offer Thermal Conductivity Measurement Services using the advanced C-Therm Thermal Conductivity Analyzer. Our Thermal Conductivity Measurements and thermal effusivity measurements cover a wide range of materials including solids, liquids, powders, and pastes. We ensure precise and accurate readings that help you understand your material’s heat transfer properties.
Why Choose Our Thermal Conductivity Measurement Services?
Our Thermal Conductivity Measurements utilize the Modified Transient Plane Source (MTPS) technique, which is compliant with ASTM D7984. This method employs a single-sided, interfacial heat reflectance sensor that applies a brief, constant heat source to the sample. Typically, measurement pulses last between 1 to 3 seconds, providing a comprehensive assessment of the sample material’s heat transfer properties.
Capabilities
- Thermal Conductivity Range: 0 to 500 W/mK
- Thermal Effusivity Range: 5 to 40,000 Ws½/m²K
- Temperature Range: -50 to 200 degrees C
- Sample Size: Minimum diameter of 17 mm (0.67 inches), no maximum size limit
- Sample Thickness: Minimum of 0.5 mm (0.02 inches), no practical maximum thickness
We ensure high precision with better than 1% accuracy and overall measurement accuracy better than 5%.
