TEMPOS Thermal Properties Analyzer

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 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.

Feature Summary:

  • Improved algorithms increase accuracy
  • New one-minute read times
  • Measure thermal diffusivity and specific heat at a fraction of the cost
  • ASTM 5334- and IEEE 422-compliant
  • Controlled heating ensures heat is constant
  • Test setup easier than ever.  Results displayed clearly
  • Mini USB cable makes downloading data easier
  • Automatically identifies the sensor you have plugged in and illustrates heating
  • Extended battery life lengthens use time
  • Portable: use in the field or in the lab
  • Measure moist and frozen materials accurately
  • Short heating times ensure no moisture movement
  • Measures thermal conductivity of many fluids
  • Robust sensor needles limit breakage
  • Each sensor engineered for a specific material
  • Automatically corrects for linear temperature drift
  • Resolves temperature to ±0.001 °C

Needle Options:

  • KS-3 (6 cm [small] single needle)
  • TR-3 (10 cm [large] single needle)
  • SH-3 (3 cm dual needle)
  • RK-3 (6 cm [thick] single needle)
