TPS 2500 S Thermal Conductivity System
The Hot Disk Transient Plane Source TPS 2500 S constitutes an industry benchmark Thermal Conductivity test system. The TPS 2500 S Thermal Conductivity Instrument is designed for analyzing thermal transport properties of solids, liquids, paste and powders, including various types of geometry and dimensions. The TPS 2500 S and TPS 1500 Thermal Conductivity Systems are the only Transient Plane Source (TPS) Method to meet a testing standard (ISO/DIS 22007-2.2).
The patented Hot Disk TPS technique, which is celebrating over twenty years of development and more than 200 clients worldwide– is highly appreciated for its ability to simultaneously determine thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity from a single measurement, with limited emphasis on sample preparation. The operative simplicity of the TPS 2500 S and the performance achieved when using optimally designed TPS sensors, makes this system a robust and ideal tool for tests of solids, liquids, powders, pastes and foams. The trademark high accuracy and precision makes the instrument suitable for QC testing.
Optional software modules allows the instrument to be used in special applications, such as measurements
of thin films, coatings or adhesive layers (Thin Films module), high-conducting sheets or slabs (Slabs module), and anisotropic samples or layered structures (Anisotropic module) – important applications in the
electronics, geo-thermal, building materials, nuclear and chemical industries.
The test & analysis software for the Hot Disk TPS 2500 S system incorporates tools for automated measurements as well as automatic temperature control of external devices. The software also incorporates tools for exporting results to 3rd-party software (MS Excel), for additional processing or statistical analysis.
