THERMAL ANALYSIS

Thermal Conductivity Tester with Guarded Hot Plate

The guarded hot plate method measures steady-state heat transfer through flat specimens. It is preferred when laboratories need stable thermal conductivity data, controlled hot and cold plate temperatures, thickness measurement, contact pressure control, and traceable reporting for insulation, building materials, polymers, foams, glass, and composites.

Compliance & Standards

All products in the Guarded Hot Plate Thermal Conductivity category comply with international testing standards including:

ASTM Standards

EN Standards

AASHTO Standards

BS Standards

ISO Standards

Frequently Asked Questions

This section includes LS-DR-1 and related systems configured for the same workflow family. Laboratories usually compare these models by automation level, temperature or load control, reporting workflow, and target standard.

ASTM C177, ISO 8302 are common reference standards for this workflow. Procurement teams often search by these codes first and then compare model capability, control logic, and laboratory throughput.

Selection usually depends on required standards, automation level, sample throughput, data traceability, and whether the laboratory is focused on daily QC, third-party compliance testing, or advanced research and development.
