This grey-colored polymer-clad sensor cable is intended to operate in room temperature with our Kapton- or Teflon-insulated Hot Disk®, Hot Strip®, or Hot Cell® sensors. It comes with an 8-pin Lemo connector in one end for connection to our Hot Disk® instruments (or our sensor switch units), and with four bare wires at the other end for permanent connection to the sensor.
The sensor connection is achieved by soldering, which in turn is protected by a plastic housing (or heat-shrink tubing).
When ordering our Hot Disk® and Hot Strip® sensors with this cable they come connected by default, with plastic housing (or heat-shrink tubing on request). However, spare sensor cables as well as spare plastic housings can also be ordered.

This red-colored silicone-clad sensor cable is intended for measurements at low to medium temperatures, down to -60°C and up to up to 180°C, with our Kapton- or Teflon-insulated Hot Disk®, Hot Strip®, or Hot Cell® sensors. The cable comes with a 4-pin Lemo connector in one end and with four bare wires in the other end for permanent connection to the sensor.

This grey-colored polymer-clad sensor cable extension is for accommodating measurement scenarios requiring longer distances between the testing point and the Hot Disk® instrument. It comes with an 8-pin Lemo connector in both ends for a smooth extension of our room temperature sensor cable or adaptor cable.

This convenient benchtop sample holder is primarily intended for bulk sample testing at room temperature. It can, however, be modified to accommodate ambient temperatures up to 600°C. This allows for the usage in environmental chambers or larger furnaces.

The sample holder for solids can be complemented with a protective hood. We strongly recommend the use of this hood to ensure that the full potential of a Hot Disk® instrument in terms of measurement accuracy and precision is utilized.

This sample holder is to be used when testing highly thermal conductive slab or sheet samples (with our Slab Measurement Module) that are relatively stiff, such as metal slabs, graphite sheets or laminates, and semiconductor wafers. At ambient temperatures below 400°C, this sample holder is typically applied with our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor models 5501 and 8563. At higher temperatures, it is typically used with our Mica-insulated Hot Disk® sensor model 5082.

This sample holder is intended for testing fine powders, pastes, gels, foams, and creams. It is mainly geared toward operation with our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor models 5465 and 5501 for ambient temperatures below 400°C, but it can also be used with our corresponding Teflon-insulated (for reactive samples) Hot Disk® sensors for ambient temperatures below 250°C. Likewise, it can be used with our Mica-insulated Hot Disk® sensor models 5465 and 5082 for ambient temperatures above 400°C.

This sample holder is intended for testing granular materials such as coarse powders, grains, granules, beads, and small pellets. It is mainly intended to operate with our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor model 4922, which has a double-spiral diameter of 29.2 mm. The grain/particle size of the granular sample must be significantly smaller (>10 times), than the double-spiral diameter (i.e. <3 mm for Hot Disk® sensor model 4922).

This sample holder is primarily intended for testing samples to be frozen, such as foods. It can, however, equally well be used for the testing of high viscosity liquids, pastes, gels, foams, and creams. For frozen samples, we recommend the use of our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor model 8563; this has a double-spiral diameter of 19.8 mm. For high-viscosity liquids, pastes, gels, foams, and creams, we advise Kapton-insulated or Teflon-insulated (for reactive samples) Hot Disk® sensors with somewhat smaller double-spiral diameters.

This sample holder is intended for testing liquids, including ones with very low viscosity (such as Toluene). Testing liquids is somewhat challenging, as the heating from the sensor can introduce natural convection in the relevant liquid, especially regarding low-viscosity liquids, which disturbs the measurement results. To minimize this disturbance the sample volume should be small, and hence the sensors will be of modest size. We therefore recommend the use of our Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensor models 5465 and 7577, having double-spiral diameters of 6.4 mm and 4.0 mm, respectively, for testing liquids. For reactive samples, our Teflon-insulated Hot Disk sensor models 5465 and 7577 (with some customization) can also be used.

These weights are used for pressuring soft sample materials during testing. They are intended primarily for testing thin film samples (with the Thin Film Measurement Module), where they work to reduce the thermal contact resistance between the Hot Disk® sensor and the two thin film sample pieces. The weights can also be used to study the properties of soft bulk materials as a function of pressure. The weights are then stacked to vary the pressure.

This bench-top, manually operated, force-measurement test stand is used for pressuring soft sample materials during testing. It furnishes both precise pressure and displacement monitoring. The manual test stand can conveniently be used to study the properties of soft bulk materials as a function of pressure and/or deformation.

This is a verification sample of optional material: stainless steel (AISI 316/316L), fused quartz (amorphous silica, SiO2), or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). Two identical sample pieces are supplied, each having a flat cylindrical shape of diameter 60 mm, and thickness of 20 mm. The two sample pieces come in our smaller-sized signature wooden box with aluminum lid, together with a leaflet and a USB flash drive.

This kit contains three different verification samples: stainless steel (AISI 316/316L), fused quartz (amorphous silica, SiO2), and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). Two identical sample pieces of each material are supplied, each having a flat cylindrical shape of diameter 60 mm, and thickness 20 mm. The six sample pieces come in our larger-sized signature wooden box with aluminum lid, together with a leaflet and a USB flash drive.
