How to Reduce Contact Resistance Errors in Thermal Properties Measurements (13944-01 AN)

May 21, 2009

    • Thermal Properties Testing,
    • KD2 Pro,
    • Environmental Instruments

The KD2 Pro measures thermal conductivity, resistivity and diffusivity of samples using a single heated needle. The needle contains a heater and a temperature sensor. The temperature of the needle is monitored as heat is applied. The thermal properties of the sample are found using a model for the thermal behavior of a line heat source. This method is described in detail (for resistivity/conductivity) in ASTM D5334-08.
