Heat Flow Method Thermal Conductivity Tester
Published: 9/9/2025
The DRX-II-RL measures thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal resistance of low-to-medium conductivity materials using the heat flow (guarded heat flow meter) method. It supports small, thin, or layered samples and complies with major international test standards for polymers, ceramics, insulations, composites, glass, and rubber.
Product Description
The DRX-II-RL is a guarded heat flow meter system designed to determine thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of solids by placing the specimen between two heat flux sensors under a controlled temperature gradient. The upper plate is motor-driven for automated loading and thickness measurement, while an embedded controller or external computer executes temperature programs, collects data, and stores calibration files.
The instrument accommodates circular or square specimens and provides automatic test sequencing with fixed or adjustable temperature gradients. It is suitable for polymers, ceramics, insulating materials, composites, nonmetals, glass, rubber, and other materials with low to medium thermal conductivity. Thin films can be evaluated by multi-layer stacking to obtain accurate results.
The system adheres to international methods including MIL-I-49456A, ASTM D5470-06, ASTM E1530, ASTM C518, ISO 8301, JIS A 1412, DIN EN 12939, DIN EN 13163, and DIN EN 12667, ensuring traceable and comparable measurements across applications such as material screening, contact thermal resistance evaluation, and reliability studies under varying pressures.
