THERMAL ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS Quick λ Thermal Conductivity Tester The HC-10 Quick λ Thermal Conductivity Tester is superfast, reliable, and portable, designed to measure the thermal conductivity of a wide range of homogeneous samples and vacuum insulator panels (VIP) in just 60 seconds. It works by measuring heat loss at the surface layer against a standard reference sample with a known thermal conductivity value, or one measured by another thermal conductivity measuring device. By comparing the calibration curve based on the reference sample and the output value from the sensor, the HC-10 achieves unprecedented measurement results and repeatability. With most thermal conductivity testers taking more than 1 hour to measure a sample, the HC-10 drastically shortens the testing and production time of VIP. It’s a straightforward, but powerful tool in the lab, adding speed and accuracy to research and development. Compact, portable design with integrated temperature sensor & heater Designed to measure a wide range of homogeneous & VIP materials 60s Super-fast Thermal Conductivity Measurements PC software for operation, calibration, and data management

Principle The HC-10 is a relative measurement instrument and calculates heat flow at the specimen surface layer using a rapid nonstatic heating method. Heat loss is measured with the sensor unit as a temperature gradient, inversely proportional to the material thermal conductivity; a complex operation made seamless through the sensor head’s practical design. When the amount of heat loss is small, the sample surface temperature is high When there is a large heat loss, the sample surface temperature is low Probe Temp. Sensor Heater Non-static heating method Measurement Procedure Step 1: With the...

Applications The HC-10 is designed to handle a wide range of thermal conductivity applications, including quality assurance, VIP production, material qualification, and R&D. While the HC-10 can be used as a standalone device with the LCD display and internal data storage, PC Software is available to download on the EKO website and can be found in the ‘Downloads' section of the Product Page. With this software, users can connect and operate their HC-10 with a PC via USB connection for unrestricted data storage, access to measurement controls, calibration, and data management, helping to make the...

The HC-121 VIP Checker can connect up to 5 sensor units, each operating independently, allowing for even faster throughput during the production process; up to 100 VIP samples in just 20 minutes. Made in Japan for over 90 years, EKO solar energy sensors and environmental instruments are built on a legacy of innovation, an uncompromising commitment to quality, and industry-leading accuracy. With the same rapid 60-second measurement method as the HC-10, its increased capacity makes the HC-121 perfect for large-scale material research and analysis applications. With a range of products and services...
