Flash instrument simultaneously measures 16 samples

The flash method is a fast, non-contact and efficient method for measuring the three fundamental thermophysical properties of thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. A new light flash apparatus, the LFA 467 HyperFlash from Netzsch, can carry out measurements from -100°C to 500°C with a single instrument set-up – without having to swap out either the detector or the furnace. It can also simultaneously measure up to 16 samples over the entire temperature range. Refill systems are available for the automatic refilling of the Dewar both on the detector and the furnace. It is also suitable for thin films and high conductivity materials by also offering a sample rate of 2 MHz. Netzsch Instruments North America LLC
