Automatic High-Precision Heat Flow Method Thermal Conductivity Tester
Published: 6/17/2025
The DRH-30S measures the thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of homogeneous, plate-like and compressible materials using the heat flow method. It supports rapid, accurate testing across low to high conductivity ranges for plastics, rubbers, foams, ceramics, rocks, refractories, composites, and insulation materials in R&D and quality control.
Product Description
DRH-30S is a heat flow method instrument designed for steady-state thermal property measurements of a wide variety of materials, including porous foams, plastics, rubber, glass, fibers, EPS/XPS boards, foamed concrete, hollow glass, ceramics, rocks and soils, refractories, polymers, nylon, resins, and insulation boards and coatings. The system places a specimen between a controlled hot plate and a cold plate, measures heat flux through a calibrated heat flux sensor, and calculates thermal conductivity and thermal resistance with automated pressure loading and thickness determination.
The instrument aligns with ASTM D5470 and ASTM C518 for heat transfer characterization, and conforms to GB 10295-2008 and GB/T 25261-2018 requirements for reflective insulation coatings. It can operate as a standalone unit or under PC control, delivering fast, repeatable results suitable for materials testing institutes, research organizations, factory QC labs, and university teaching and research.
