Thermal Conductivity Tester(Transient Fast Hot-Wire Method)，ASTM D5334 high-precision transient hot-wire thermal analyzer
Transient Fast Hot-Wire Thermal Conductivity Tester is a compact and efficient instrument designed for rapid measurement of thermal conductivity using the transient hot-wire method. The system employs a linear heat source probe with a very high length-to-diameter ratio, enabling accurate simulation of an ideal infinite line and infinitely thin heat source.
With a plug-and-play probe interface and intuitive software operation, the tester allows users to complete the entire process—from sample preparation to final results—within 1 to 2 minutes. Featuring fast measurement speed, wide application range, reliable accuracy, and excellent portability, this instrument is well suited for production inspection, quality control, and research applications across multiple industries.
