THB - Transient Hot Bridge - Basic, Advance, Ultimate
Transient Hot Bridge (THB) simultaneously delivers the three material properties thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat after just a few minutes, regardless of whether you have placed the corresponding sensors in bulk solids, gels, pastes or plates or immersed them in liquids.

* The exact min. sample size depends on the material properties.
** High temperature (HT) version is based on a ceramic substrate, slightly reduces the accuracy.
*** All maximum temperatures refer to operation under air. If Kapton Sensors are used in inert atmosphere the maximum temperature range can be extended from 200°C to 300°C.
