Thermal Conductivity Tester (Heat Flow Method)

Thermal Conductivity Tester (Heat Flow Method) is a precision instrument designed for measuring thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial contact thermal resistance of thin thermally conductive and electrically insulating solid materials. The system is fully designed and manufactured in accordance with ASTM D5470-2017. adopting the steady heat flow method with optimized temperature gradient measurement. With automated pressure loading, automatic thickness measurement, multi-point temperature detection, and computer-controlled operation, the instrument enables accurate evaluation of thermal resistance curves under different pressures and temperatures. It is widely used for thermal performance analysis of solid sheet materials, interface materials, and high-conductivity components in laboratory and industrial environments.

Application

The Thermal Conductivity Tester is mainly used for thermal performance evaluation of thin solid materials and interface materials, including:

Thin thermally conductive solids and electrically insulating materials

Thermal interface materials such as thermal grease, thermal silicone, resins, and rubber

Ceramic materials including beryllium oxide ceramics and alumina ceramics

Metal substrates and composite boards such as aluminum substrates and copper-clad laminates

Engineering plastics and polymer-based materials

Graphite materials including graphite paper, graphite sheets, carbon felt, and foam copper

Solid sheet samples, with optional frames for testing powder and paste materials

The instrument measures thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and interfacial contact thermal resistance, supporting testing under different pressures and temperatures.
