Description

The S1-HT-101 Thermal Conductivity Measurement Equipment is an advanced, fully integrated system designed for precise and reliable measurement of thermal conductivity and associated thermal properties for a wide range of materials both liquid, powders and solids, including concrete, cementitious materials, and geological samples. This system employs both the Modified Transient Plane Source (MTPS) and Transient Plane Source (TPS) testing methods to offer flexibility in testing, providing accurate results across different sample types and conditions.

The equipment is a portable, benchtop solution that can be easily installed in a standard laboratory setting, with no need for additional hardware. Its design allows for measurements at various temperatures, pressures, and sample sizes, making it suitable for diverse applications in research and industry.

SYP Technologies has engineered this system to meet stringent UK and international standards for laboratory equipment, ensuring top-tier performance, safety, and compliance with modern laboratory requirements.

The Modified Transient Plane Source (MTPS) technique measures the thermal conductivity and effusivity of materials using a single-sided, interfacial sensor. This sensor applies a short heat pulse to the sample, typically for 1 to 4 seconds and measure the temperature profile at the interface of sensor and tested material to accurately determine thermal properties. The technique directly measures thermal conductivity and effusivity, offering a comprehensive view of the sample’s heat transfer properties.
