The Transient Hot-Wire Liquid Thermal Conductivity Analyzer is widely used in research, development, and quality control environments where accurate thermal property data of fluids and semi-fluids is required. Typical application scenarios include:
Engine coolants, lubricants, and heat transfer fluids
Phase change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage
Chemical liquids and pastes used in process engineering
High-viscosity fluids and suspensions
Research on thermal transport mechanisms
Typical tested products include engine coolants, PCM slurries, silicone oils, polymer solutions, and specialty chemical fluids.
Standards
The analyzer is designed and tested in accordance with internationally recognized standards:
(1) ASTM D7896-19 — Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Diffusivity, and Volumetric Heat Capacity of Liquids Using the Transient Hot-Wire Method
