TPS 3500
TPS 3500
When samples are small and high-conducting, the Hot Disk TPS 3500 is the ideal instrument for testing their thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat. The capabilities of TPS 3500 go well beyond that of any other Hot Disk instrument to date, while retaining the documented precision of all TPS thermal conductivity meters. It meets ISO 22007-2.

In addition, the TPS 3500 is a general-purpose R&D instrument capable of analysing thermal transport properties of any kind of solid or liquid. Solids suitable for testing with a TPS 3500 can be dense, porous or in powder form, isotropic or anisotropic, conducting or insulating, transparent or opaque. Liquids can be thick and sticky, low viscosity solvents or anything in between.
As a badge of reliability the new TPS 3500 meets ISO 22007-2 and utilizes Hot Disk’s classic double spiral sensors for maximum accuracy. All this is achieved without the use of contact fluids, light-absorbing sample surfaces or fixed sample geometries.
Each Hot Disk TPS 3500 is tailored according to application specifications and can be paired with a selection of temperature control accessories. To guarantee best possible performance, the controlling software is continuously updated and improved. Most accessories are also available for rapid acquisition.
Key features
Sensors: The TPS 3500 operates a wide variety of Hot Disk sensors. With sensor radius from 0.5 mm up to 30 mm the instrument is suitable for all kinds of materials and applications. Multiple sensors can be connected using an automatic sensor switcher. With sensor radius from 0.5 mm up to 30 mm the instrument is suitable for all kinds of materials and applications.
Temperature Control: Automatic Temperature series measurements (Isothermal Steps) are easy to perform using either an optional external Furnace or a temperature-controlled Circulating Bath. These external devices can be directly controlled through the Hot Disk Thermal Analyser software to ensure ease of use.
