HOT DISK M1

The Hot Disk M1 system enables precise thermal conductivity measurements in the range of 0.03 to 40 W/mK. It is perfectly suited for simple applications in the building materials sector where sufficiently large samples are available.

The system consists of user-friendly electronics, a hot disk sensor, a simple sample holder and intuitive control and evaluation software. It is operated via a conventional PC or optionally via an iPad®.

Thanks to its attractive price, the Hot Disk M1 system is ideal for use in teaching, for example for practical courses, as well as for smaller research projects. It has also proven itself in industrial applications for standard measurements on samples that are easy to measure.

The hot disk technique, also known as "Transient Plane Source" (TPS) technique, works fast and efficiently. The plane sensor acts as both a heat source and a temperature probe. It is placed between two sample pieces for standard measurements, which should have a flat surface, but rough or porous surfaces are also possible. The Hot Disk M1 system is supplied with a standard specimen holder, fixture and hood. It can be used with a Windows® PC or an iPad® as a control unit. Optionally, measurements with only one specimen and measurement of thermal diffusivity are also possible.
