Kapton Sensors

The Kapton-insulated sensors are the most versatile in the Hot Disk sensor portfolio. Handled with care they have a long lifetime, even when employed at temperatures as high as 300 °C in air atmosphere. To ensure functionality the sensor should not be ripped or folded. The sensor should also be kept in its protective slipcase when not in use.

Kapton sensors for Isotropic, Anisotropic, Slab, One-dimensional and Structural Probe measurements, with operating temperature from -196 °C up to 300 °C (400 °C in vacuum):

* Not suitable for anisotropic measurements.
** For special applications and easier suspension in liquids or melts.
*** Intended for large or high-conducting samples.

Kapton sensors for thin film measurements, operating temperature from -196 °C up to 300 °C (400 °C in vacuum):

Also available: Specific heat capacity sensor equipped with gold cell sample holder. Ships with low density foam insulation, for use at maximum 150 °C. Maximum sample size in the gold cell: 19 mm diameter and 5 mm thickness.

All Kapton-insulated sensors can be acquired with or without attached cables. The standard cables can be used in a temperature range of -20 to +50 °C while silicone cables are available for use in the wider range of -60 to +180 °C. Sensors without cable can be mounted in dedicated sensor holders for use up to 300 °C (400 °C in vacuum or inert atmosphere).
