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.
