Concrete Thermal Storage Coefficient Tester
Published: 11/11/2016
Instrument for rapid determination of thermal storage coefficient, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of concrete and similar materials under different moisture conditions. Uses a transient heat conduction method to deliver results in about ten minutes for R&D and quality control applications.
Product Description
The Concrete Thermal Storage Coefficient Tester measures multiple thermophysical properties—thermal storage coefficient, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat—in a single test even when samples have varying moisture content. Based on a non-steady-state heat conduction principle, the system applies short-duration heating to the specimen and calculates properties from the temperature response using solutions to the heat conduction differential equation.
The instrument supports embedded control and can optionally connect to an upper computer for automated testing, data processing, and printout. It is suited for homogeneous plate-like, gel-like, powdery, and granular materials, enabling fast, high-accuracy testing in laboratories and material evaluation settings.
