The Thermtest THW-L2 is a thermal conductivity meter based on the Transient Hot Wire method for testing the thermal conductivity of fluids. In this example milk is used to demonstrate the sensitivity of the device. Testing fluids with a THW-L2 is easy and fast. Each measurement is only ca 1 second long...
In this post we will look at the thermal conductivity of green wood, more specifically birch from the Swedish west coast. Green wood has a high moisture level and is often allowed to season, or dry, before being used. With the shifting moisture levels, also the thermal transport properties...
Research regarding the different properties and potential applications of different chemicals and materials has been the driving force behind the major advances in science and technology that have occurred over the past century. Discovering and measuring the impact that chemicals such as mTBD can have on improving scientific technology...
For the study we are using two methods, first the Transient Line Source method utilizing Thermtest’s TLS-100 and then the Transient Plane Source method utilizing a TPS 2500 S. The TLS-100 was originally designed to test soil but is also very useful when analyzing larger samples of construction materials, like rock, concrete, polymers...
