HFM 436 Lambda - Heat flow meter
Accurate thermal conductivity testing of insulation materials
With the Heat Flow Meter, HFM 436 Lambda, samples measuring 30 cm x 30 cm or 60 cm x 60 cm and of variable thicknesses ranging from a few millimeters to 10 (20) cm are tested between two heat flux sensors in fixed or adjustable temperature gradients. After a few minutes for the system to reach equilibrium, the built-in PC or external computer determines the thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of the sample.
Automatic plate movement and determination of the sample thickness facilitate test preparation.
The patented plate temperature control system (US-patent No. 5,940,784 (1999)) and dual heat flux sensors quickly provide accurate data.
All test parameters as well as the calibration data are stored in the PC and documented.
Determination of thermal conductivity with the Heat Flow Meter, HFM 436 Lambda, meets the industry standards ASTM C518, ISO 8301, JIS A 1412, DIN EN 12939, DIN EN 13163 and DIN EN 12667.
