Laser Flash Apparatus Testing Services
How Our Lab Uses the Laser Flash Apparatus
A laser is used to fire a short pulse at the surface of a thin disk specimen. The heat transfered through the specimen results in a temperature rise on the other surface that is measured by an infra-red detector. Analysis of this temperature change allows determination of thermal diffusivity.
Common Applications
-
thermal diffusivity
-
specific heat
-
thermal conductivity calculated from thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and density
