Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
When measuring the thermal conductivity of thin sheets with any transient thermal conductivity method, the heat from sensor must stay within the available dimensions of the sample. This becomes increasingly difficult as the thermal conductivity / thermal diffusivity of the sample increases and the thickness decreases. The limiting measurement parameter is test time, can it be reduced to keep heat within the thickness of the sheet you are...
Is plastic a little too convenient? The global plastic industry took off and has continued to grow exponentially since the debut of the first synthetic plastic, Bakelite, in 1907. Synthetic plastic is undeniably one of the most convenient creations known to mankind. It is used daily for a variety of purposes in households across industrialized...
Take a look at the graphite sheets that were included in Thermtest’s Education Kits. They have an amazing characteristic: high thermal conductivity!
Thermtest shipped our thermal science education kits to schools all over Canada and the United States, to help students learn about thermal conductivity.
Searle’s Apparatus experiment produces a simple and affordable way to calculate the thermal conductivity of good thermal conductors.
