Hot Strip® Sensors

Kapton-insulated

While our Hot Disk® sensors can accommodate most measurement scenarios, our Hot Strip® sensors can importantly tackle odd-shaped and/or limited-sized samples, e.g. rectangular slabs and rods with rectangular or square cross-sections. Regarding anisotropic samples, Hot Strip® sensors can be used to analyse the 3D Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity tensors of biaxial materials, whereas the Hot Disk® sensors are limited to analyse the 2D Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity tensors of uniaxial materials.

Handling odd-shaped and limited-sized samples up to 400°C

Our range of Kapton-insulated Hot Strip® sensors for Isotropic, Anisotropic, Slab, One-dimensional and Structural Probe measurements, with an operating temperature from -253°C (20 K) up to 300°C (400°C in vacuum or oxygen-free environment), is listed in the following table, followed by images and detailed dimensions:

Sensor model: Width (mm) x Length (mm):
5108 6.4 x 20.0
101474 16.0 x 19.0
101472 16.0 x 59.0

All Kapton-insulated Hot Strip® sensors can be acquired with or without attached cables. The standard polymer-clad cables can be used in a temperature range of -20°C to +50°C while silicone-clad cables are available for use in the wider range of -60°C to +180°C. For cryogenic temperatures, thin-diameter silicone-clad cables are offered. Sensors without cable can be mounted in our sensor interface for high temperatures accessories, for use up to 300°C (400°C in vacuum or oxygen-free environment).

Hot Disk® Sensor
Kapton-insulated
Precision measurements up to 400°C

Our Kapton-insulated sensors are the most versatile in the Hot Disk® sensor portfolio, employed at temperatures from -253°C (20 K) to 400°C. They are mechanically highly flexible, and frequently attain a lifetime of several years when employed with care. The Kapton-insulated Hot Disk® sensors are available in seventeen models of different radii to date, catering to a wide range of sample sizes and topical applications.

Hot Disk® Sensor
Teflon-insulated
Coping with nasty samples and environments up to 250°C

Our Teflon-insulated Hot Disk® sensors are mechanically flexible, geared toward liquid- or high-viscosity immersion and temperatures up to 250°C. They are designed for use in extreme conditions, such as acidic or corrosive environments, or with sticky and reactive samples. The Teflon-insulated Hot Disk® sensors are today available in six smaller-radii models.

Hot Disk® Sensor
Mica-insulated
Tackling measurements up to 1000°C

Our Mica-insulated Hot Disk® sensors are mechanically firm and designed for measurements at elevated temperatures, typically in the 300°C to 1000°C range. Coming in eight models of different radii to date, they are commonly more perishable at higher temperatures, while easily replaced and available in bulk.
