Hot Disk TPS 2500 S

The Hot Disk TPS 2500 is the standard R&D tool for many customers. The system can measure stands as flagship instrument, excelling in R&D thermal conductivity measurements across diverse materials: solids, liquids, powders, and pastes. Widely employed in automated QC testing, it handles sub-millimeter-thick bulk samples, measuring Thermal Conductivityies from 0.005 to 1800 W/m/K. Operating between cryogenic temperatures and 1000ºC, it evaluates anisotropic thermal transport in uniaxial materials. As a pivotal research tool, it complies with ISO 22007-2 standards and bears the CE marking.

Ideal for Diverse Materials and Applications:

The operational ease and exceptional performance of the TPS 2500 S make it a reliable and preferred tool for testing solids, liquids, powders, pastes, and foams. With thousands of systems in various workspaces around the world, it is an industry standard for thermal analysis.  Its trademark high accuracy and precision also qualify it for quality control (QC) testing applications.

Modular Design for Specialized Applications:

The available measurement modules expand the capabilities of the TPS 2500 S for various specialized tasks. These functionalities cater to critical applications in the electronics, automotive, aerospace, nuclear, and chemical industries.

Unique Depth Profiling Capability:

A distinctive feature of the TPS 2500 S is its ability to probe thermal conductivity as a function of depth within a sample (Structural Probe module). This allows for determining a sample's homogeneity, valuable for material characterization.

Dedicated Specific Heat Capacity Testing:

Beyond the standard applications, the TPS 2500 S can also perform dedicated specific heat capacity testing of large solid samples, such as complex composites, compared to conventional methods like DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) that are limited in sample size.

Advanced Software and Optional Accessories:

The Hot Disk Thermal Analyser software for the TPS 2500 S offers functionalities for automated measurements, automatic temperature control of external devices, and exporting results to third-party software like MS Excel for further data processing or statistical analysis. An optional PT100 temperature sensor can be integrated for precise and automated temperature readings during measurements.

Further Discussions: The proper identification of an ideal system and accessory combination depends on the samples to be measured and the desired information from these samples.  Please contact us to discuss your sampling needs.
