Laser Flash Thermal Conductivity Analyzer
Published: 4/11/2025
Laser pulse energy heats a sample and an infrared detector records the rear-face temperature rise to compute thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity. The system supports multi-sample, modular furnaces, and atmospheres for metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, powders, liquids, melts, and slags per GJB 1201.1-91 and ASTM D1461.
Product Description
The DRX-II-JG Laser Flash Thermal Conductivity Analyzer measures thermal diffusivity from the transient rear-face temperature response after a short laser pulse. By combining diffusivity with density and specific heat, the instrument determines thermal conductivity; specific heat can be derived by comparison with standards.
A modular design allows furnace replacement to cover selectable temperature ranges and supports various sample holders for solids, liquids, melts, slags, powders, and thin films. The system can be configured with automatic sample feeding for 1, 3, or 6 specimens, vacuum or controlled atmospheres (inert, oxidizing, or reducing), and robust data acquisition and analysis software with multiple fitting models, pulse-width correction, energy integration, and heat-loss corrections.
