Description of equipment
Technical data:
- Manufacturer Decagon Devices, Inc.
- measuring sensors KS-1, TR-1, SH-1 and RK-1
- measured properties: depending on the sensor used - thermal conductivity (λ), thermal diffusivity (α), thermal resistance (R) and volumetric specific heat (c)
- measuring range: depending on the measuring probe used, for thermal conductivity: 0,02 to 6,0 W/(m∙K), for thermal resistance: 17 to 5000 °C∙cm/W, for thermal diffusivity: 0,1 to 1,0 mm²/s and for volume specific heat: 0,5 to 4,0 MJ/(m³∙K)
- precision and accuracy of results: from 5 - 10 % (depending on the probe used)
- measurement speed and duration: a measurement for one sample takes 15 min
- sample size: in general, the device is field-ready, so no pre-preparation is needed. For measurements in the laboratory, the sample must be prepared in the form of a cylinder with dimensions of at least 5 × 10 cm
Access to equipment of equipment
The meter is suitable for unbound sediments and can also be used on solid rocks with the KD2 Pro RK-1 Rock Sensor package.
Equipment rental
We also carry out measurements for external clients on samples in the GeoZS laboratory or in the field.
