Thermal conductivity and diffusivity are the most important thermophysical material parameters for the description of the heat transport properties of a material or component. For the precise measurement of thermophysical properties like the thermal diffusivity, the Laser Flash technique (LFA) has proven itself as a fast, versatile and precise absolute method. NETZSCH offers four LFA models, covering the entire spectrum of materials and temperatures.

Based on an absolute measurement method, the GHP 456 Titan is the ideal instrument for the determination of thermal conductivity of insulations.

The thermal conductivity as another significant thermophysical property is determined by means of heat flow meters (HFM) with the plate method for insulators.

Accurate thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity measurements between RT and 1250°C with Xenon Flash

The LFA 467 HT HyperFlash^® is based on the already-established LFA 467 HyperFlash® technology and requires no laser class due to the innovative light source system. The long lifetime of the xenon lamp provides cost-effective measurements until 1250°C without costly consumables.
