What is the heating/cooling load of a building as a function of the weather conditions and how can I improve it? How can I improve the heat transfer out of an electronic component? What are the optimum materials and how do I design a heat exchanger system to achieve a required efficiency? In order to answer questions like these, material properties such as thermal
diffusivity and thermal conductivity must be known. Engineers must select from a variety of test methods to characterize the diverse array of materials and configurations they employ in their designs. For ceramics, metals, composites, and multi-layer systems, the flash technique is an ideal choice. Easy sample preparation, fast testing times, and high accuracy are
only some advantages of this noncontact test method. NETZSCH offers a variety of flash systems to cover a broad range of applications and temperatures from -125°C up to 2800°C. The NETZSCH NanoFlash® system is designed as a cost-effective, easy-to-operate, highly accurate instrument for testing between room temperature and 300°C.
