Features
Heat Flux Measurement: Thermopile-based sensors integrated with surface thermocouples; low calibration requirement improves measurement accuracy.
Temperature Control: Peltier elements provide precise heating and cooling, with temperature resolution <0.01°C for optimal thermal testing.
Thickness Measurement: Automated or manual sample thickness measurement using optical encoders with <0.05 mm accuracy, ensuring precise thermal resistance calculations.
Flexible Operation: Measurement via front control panel or HFM software on Windows; supports automated temperature steps, result export, and printing.
Clamping Control: Automatic for rigid materials; manual input for compressible materials ensures optimal contact.
Reference Materials: NIST-certified standard reference materials (SRM) included, with optional custom thermal standards for specialized applications.
Accessories
Standard reference materials (glass fiber board and EPS foam board).
Optional high thermal conductivity kit.
Sample support fixtures for small or irregular specimens.
Software package for Windows-based control and data management.
Test Procedures
Sample Preparation: Ensure parallel surfaces. Automated thickness measurement is available for rigid samples; manual input for compressible materials (~1 min).
Insert Sample: Place sample between test plates; center smaller or irregular samples (~1 min).
Close Plates: Upper plate automatically lowers; for compressible materials, stops at preset thickness. Plate briefly confirms contact to ensure measurement accuracy (~1 min).
Run Test: Choose single or progressive temperature steps; standard testing time 30–40 minutes. Results can be saved, printed, or exported to Excel.
Maintenance Information
Regularly clean sensor surfaces to prevent debris interference.
Calibrate periodically with NIST reference materials.
Inspect Peltier modules and optical encoders for mechanical wear or misalignment.
Store in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
