Thermal Analyzer

There’s never been a thermal properties analyzer that gives accurate measurements under all conditions. Small sensors are fragile and face contact resistance. Large sensors and high-priced, steady-state methods, require long heat times, which drive moisture away from the sensor and alter the reading. Alternative instruments use one standard equation without making any adjustments for real-world conditions—plus they’re bulky and expensive. There’s simply been no convenient or affordable way to measure accurately. Until now.

Accurate readings at top speed

The new TEMPOS is different. We’ve ripped up everything in our thermal properties analyzer and reinvented it from the ground up to give you higher accuracy in much less time, at a price you can afford. How? Accurate thermal properties measurements have always been about complex mathematics. Recent scientific breakthroughs in how these complex equations are solved have enabled not only higher accuracy, but also allowed us to calibrate using significantly improved data sets—making this instrument more accurate than any other in its class. Not only that, improved proprietary algorithms enable the TEMPOS to make these measurements with an incredible one-minute read time (versus the usual 10 to 15 min).

Thermal properties analyzer takes compliance to a whole new level

The ASTM 5334- and IEEE 442-compliant TEMPOS is engineered using ISO 2008 standards. It takes accurate readings of thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat in many material types across multiple disciplines, from soil and concrete to insulation, food, plastics, lubricating oil, and even human tissue. The new TR-4 needle is designed specifically to be compliant with IEEE specifications.

Each needle produces only a discrete amount of heat, virtually eliminating the moisture movement (or free convection in liquids) that could alter a reading. Short heating times mean you can use the TEMPOS thermal properties analyzer to measure frozen materials and even fluids. No other analyzer on the market can measure frozen or wet materials accurately. 

VARIOS generates thermal dryout curves automatically, so you can focus on other tasks. No manual process of getting the soil in and out of the oven. No repeated manual weighing of the sample. It's all taken care of for you, including data acquisition and analysis. How?

Thermal conductivity—simplified

Constructing a thermal dryout curve is a painstaking process with the potential for human error. Time and effort go into acquiring and setting up the right components, plus you spend hours mixing samples, taking measurements, and fitting the data into a curve. What if you could have
