Thermal conductivity tester.The Fox50 is a microprocessor-based instrument for testing the thermal conductivity thermal conductivity A measure of the ability of a material to transfer heat. Given two surfaces on either side of the material with a temperature difference between them, the thermal conductivity is the heat energy transferred per unit time and per unit of materials in the conductivity conductivity /con·duc·tiv·i·ty/ (kon?duk-tiv´i-te) the capacity of a body to transmit a flow of electricity or heat; the conductance per unit area of the body. con·duc·tiv·i·ty n. 1. range of ~0.1 W/mK to 10 W/mK. The Fox line of instruments is said to be recognized as the insulation industry's fastest, most accurate and flexible system, and has been expanded. The Fox50 is designed to test polymers, composite materials composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the , low conductivity ceramics ceramics (sərăm`ĭks), materials made of nonmetallic minerals that have been permanently hardened by firing at a high temperature, or objects made of such materials. , glasses and rubber. The instrument tests up to 64 mm diameter specimens from 0 to 25 mm thick (2.5" diameter, 0" to 1" thick). Both instrument plates utilize solid state heating/cooling, and can operate between 0[degrees]C and 110[degrees]C (32[degrees]F and 230[degrees]F), or from 50[degrees]C to 190[degrees]C (32[degrees]F to 412[degrees]F). Cells for molten sample and liquid testing are available, as well as a high temperature version. LaserComp www.lasercomp.com |
