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

Get Started

  1. Share your requirements

    Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.

  2. Confirm the approach

    We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.

  3. Submit your PO and materials

    Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.

  4. Receive your results

    You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.

    Typical turnaround for most testing is five business days. Longer-duration programs may require more time.
