Thermal Conductivity Tester (Heat Flow Method) is a high-precision instrument designed for measuring the thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, and interface contact thermal resistance of thin heat conductors, solid electrical insulation materials, thermal grease, resins, rubber, beryllium oxide ceramics, and aluminum oxide ceramics. The device can test solid sheet materials directly, and with the use of a sample frame, it can also measure powdered and paste materials. The tester is designed and manufactured in full compliance with ASTM D5470-2017 standards and has benefited from over 20 years of production experience, ensuring reliability, mature performance, and high testing accuracy. The system features servo-controlled precise automatic pressing, automatic thickness measurement, 6-point temperature gradient detection, and computer-controlled fully automatic operation. The built-in thermal guard around the test rod reduces environmental temperature influence, allowing accurate measurements of thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interface contact thermal resistance under varying pressures and temperatures.
The instrument is widely used in universities, research institutions, quality inspection laboratories, and industrial production plants for material thermal property analysis.

Calibration reference samples (2 pieces)
Sample accessories set (thermal grease, paste, powder test boxes, stamping molds for sheet samples)
Test Procedures
Prepare the sample according to specified size and shape. Solid sheets or stacked layers can be used; powder/paste requires a sample frame.
Place the sample between the hot and cold plates.
Set desired hot and cold plate temperatures via software.
Apply pressure using the servo-controlled mechanism.
Start the measurement; the system automatically records temperature gradients and thickness.
Wait for measurement completion; the software calculates thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and contact thermal resistance.
Save and print results as required.
Maintenance Information
Keep hot and cold plates clean and free of residue.
Calibrate regularly using reference samples.
Inspect heat guards and pressure mechanisms for proper operation.
Maintain stable laboratory temperature to ensure measurement consistency.
Ensure proper water bath operation for cold plate stability.
