TPS 1500 Thermal Conductivity System

The affordable Hot Disk TPS 1500 constitutes a new Thermal Constants Analyzer test system, sharing the sterling quality, robustness and operative simplicity of the benchmark TPS 2500 S. The flexible TPS 1500 instrument is designed for analyzing thermal transport properties covering a wide range of materials of various dimensions. The TPS 1500 meets ISO Standard (ISO/DIS 22007-2.2).

The patented Hot Disk TPS technique – today used in more than laboratories – is highly appreciated for its ability to simultaneously determine thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity from a single measurement, with limited emphasis on sample preparation. When utilizing optimally designed Hot Disk sensors, the TPS 1500 system serves as a robust tool for tests of solids, powders, pastes and foams. If larger samples are available, also high-conducting metals or ceramic materials can be tested.

The TPS 1500 is designed as a reliable workhorse instrument for materials R&D within heavy-duty industries. The construction industry, for example, will see concrete, cement mixtures, plastics, woods, fibrous structures, and insulating materials readily and efficiently analyzed. The excellent accuracy and precision also makes the instrument suitable for QC testing.

The test & analysis software for the TPS 1500 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer incorporates tools for automated measurements as well as automatic temperature control of external devices. Optional software modules allow the instrument to test anisotropic samples (Anisotropic module) and tests of Cp of smaller samples (Cp module). The software also incorporates tools for exporting results to 3rd-party software (MS Excel), for additional processing or
statistical analysis.

Key Features

Sensors. The TPS 1500 operates a wide variety of TPS sensors suitable for different materials and applications.

Temperature Control. Automatic Temperature series measurements (Isothermal Steps) are easy to perform using either an optional external Furnace or Liquid-Temperature Bath. The test & measurement software and TPS 1500 instrument controls the external device through and RS-232 port on the rear of the TPS 1500 instrument.

Everything to get you started. The basic TPS 1500 system includes everything to get you started making measurements, including installation and on-site training. The instrumentation includes: Standard Measurement Module software, one Sensor and Stainless Steel reference material for data verification & Room-Temperature Sample Holder. Optional: PC with Windows XP, MS Office 2007 SBE, Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse.

Optional Software Modules. In addition to the Standard Technique, optional software for ANISOTROPIC and SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY modules is available.
