Product Details

A small-scale bench top accessory designed to allow experimental investigation of the thermal conductivity of liquids and gases. The unit comprises a heated plug and water-cooled jacket with a small radial clearance in which gas or liquid samples may be tested. The thin laminar film prevents natural convection in the fluid under test. The temperatures either side of the sample under test are recorded by integral temperature sensors. The unit is calibrated using air, in order to account for incidental heat losses. Heat input is both measured and controlled which also provides instrumentation for measurement of the temperatures on either side of the sample under test. The whole assembly is mounted on a base plate with a clear schematic of the experiment layout.
