Sample Holder for Liquids
-60°C to 180°C
This sample holder is intended for testing liquids, including ones with very low viscosity (such as Toluene). Testing liquids is somewhat challenging, as the heating from the sensor can introduce natural convection in the relevant liquid, especially regarding low-viscosity liquids, which disturbs the measurement results. To minimize this disturbance the sample volume should be small, and hence the sensors will be of modest size. We therefore recommend the use of our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor models 5465 and 7577, having double-spiral diameters of 6.4 mm and 4.0 mm, respectively, for testing liquids. For reactive samples, our Teflon-insulated Hot Disk sensor models 5465 and 7577 (with some customization) can also be used.
