The effects of cooling time on the reproducibility and accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements made using a Thermal Constants Analyzer were evaluated. Selected metal alloys and silicone based electronic interface materials were used for the testing. Cooling times of 30, 15, 10, 5, and 1 minute between measurements were selected, and three measurements were made for each cooling time. These tests were also performed at temperatures of 25, 50, and 70ÂșC to determine if sample temperature had ...
This study aimed to determine the effect of instrument temperature cooling time on the accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements. Multiple samples, with varying thermal conductivities, were measured using the Thermal Constants Analyzer, and with five different cooling times. Cooling times, and their effect on the thermal conductivity results were analyzed, and appropriate cooling times were suggested, based on the findings....
