How the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method differs from other thermal conductivity analyzers
Research on thermally conductive materials in universities is characterized by a high degree of material diversity:
In terms of conductivity range: It encompasses everything from thermal insulators to highly conductive materials.
In terms of physical form: It covers solids, liquids, powders, and even gases.
Since students work on a wide variety of thesis topics, researchers inevitably encounter all these material types. However, since most other thermal conductivity analyzers on the market are often limited to measuring only one specific form of material, a single instrument is rarely sufficient to address the diverse needs of all student projects.
