Thermal Conductivity Tester (AUTOΛ)
HC-110

for polymers, comosite materials, low conductivity ceramics, glass and liquid measurement.
Conforms ASTM C518, ISO 8301, JIS A1412
HC-110 is a microprocessor-based instrument for testing in accordance with ASTM C 518 , ISO 8301 and JIS A 1412. It is designed for testing the thermal conductivity of materials in the conductivity range of 0.1 to 10Wm·K, such as polymers, composite materials, low conductivity ceramics and glasses. The instrument tests up to 63 mm diameter specimens from 0 to 25 mm thick.
Both instrument plates utilize solid-state heating/cooling and can operate between 0°C and +110°C (model 110). Specimens can be tested repeatedly at any one temperature within this range. Alternatively, up to nine temperatures can be entered for each specimen in which case the instrument will automatically advance to the next temperature once equilibrium conditions have been established.
A set of two Pyrex standards of different thickness are provided in order to verify the Two Thickness procedure which eliminates air interface from results. The specimen thickness is continuously monitored during the test by a sophisticated digital thickness readout system. Standard resolution of thickness readout is better than +/-0.0254mm. Constant pressure between the plates and the sample is provided through a pneumatic cylinder. Both plates of the instrument are equipped with thin film high output heat flux transducers. The use of two heat flux transducers accelerates the tests and produces more accurate results.
HC-110 utilizes state of the art analog and digital electronics developed specifically for the tester. The accuracy of the temperature control is +/-0.01°C. External thermocouples can be connected to outlets in back.

 



STRUCTURE AND PRINCIPLE

The thermal conductivity of a specimen (Λ) is determined by the following the equation;

Where QU is the output of the upper heat flux transducer, QL is the output of the lower heat flux transducer, L is the thickness of the specimen and ΔT is the temperature difference between the surfaces of the specimen. The upper and lower surface temperature of both transducers are provided on the instrument LCD at the end of the test. In each component of the conductivity equation, heat flux, thickness of the specimen and temperature of specimen surfaces, the HC-110 provides extremely precise readings.
