The new TEMPOS is different. Reinvented it from the ground up to give you higher accuracy in much less time, at a price you can afford. Not only that, improved proprietary algorithms enable the TEMPOS to make these measurements with an incredible one-minute read time (versus the usual 10-15 min.).

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 food, plastics, lubricating oil, and even human tissue.  

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 to measure frozen materials and even fluids. No other analyzer on the market can measure frozen or wet materials accurately.
