As an authorized distributor of Hot Disk® Instruments, Barnett Technical Services offer three types of Hot Disk® sensors for exclusive use with Hot Disk® instruments, configured with various Measurement Modules. These sensors test thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, featuring a double spiral patterned Nickel foil and claddings in Kapton, Teflon, and Mica. This design allows Hot Disk® sensors to operate in diverse temperatures, environments, atmospheres, and media. The Nickel spirals provide sensitive temperature readings. We also offer Hot Disk’s new Hot Cell® sensors for testing the heat capacity of a wide range of samples including battery materials.
Hot Disk® sensors with Kapton insulation are designed to operate up to 300°C (or 400°C in an oxygen-free environment), while Mica-insulated sensors function within the 300°C to 800°C range (or up to 1000°C in special cases). Teflon-insulated sensors are suitable for acidic or corrosive environments up to 250°C. These varying claddings make Hot Disk® sensors versatile and capable of performing in diverse testing conditions, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements across different applications.
