Thermal Conductivity Tester for Silicone and Ceramic Substrates is a high-precision instrument designed to measure 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 instrument can test solid sheet materials directly, and with the use of a sample frame, it can measure powdered and paste materials.
Designed and manufactured in full compliance with ASTM D5470-2017 standards, tester incorporates over a decade of production experience and user feedback to provide mature and reliable performance. The instrument features servo-controlled precise automatic pressing, automatic thickness measurement, 6-point temperature gradient detection, and computer-controlled fully automatic operation. Built-in thermal protection around the test rod reduces environmental influence, enabling precise measurement of materials under varying pressures. This tester also includes automatic cold-end temperature compensation, eliminating the need for ice-water compensation.
Users can select standard or compact models according to laboratory space constraints without compromising performance. The instrument is widely applied in universities, research institutes, quality inspection laboratories, and industrial production plants.

Accessories
Main instrument
Analysis software (Chinese & English versions)
Precision low-temperature constant temperature water bath (high-precision, large-capacity)
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 size and thickness specifications. Powder/paste materials require 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 completion; software calculates thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interface contact thermal resistance.
Save and print results as required.
Maintenance Information
Keep hot and cold plates clean and free from residue.
Regularly calibrate using reference samples.
Inspect thermal protection devices and pressure mechanisms for proper operation.
Maintain stable laboratory conditions to ensure consistent measurements.
Ensure proper operation of water bath for cold plate stability.
