By marking each side of each sample with “1” for low side and “2” for upper side, it was possible to test four permutations of the sample set-up and thus it could be possible to analyse possible differences between the upper side and the lower side of the samples as they were manufactured. Since the sample is formed by extrusion, it is assumed that the PS will have a higher density on the bottom side of the sample than the upper side and therefore different thermal properties.

Thermal Conductivity measurements on Milk with various fat contents

In this Application four different milk products with fat content (given by the
manufacturer) <0.1 %, 0.5 %,1.5 % and 3 % were compared in order to investigate if the Hot
Disk Thermal Constants Anlyser can be used to determine fat content in diary products.

Measure Anisptropic thermal conductivity and diffusivity in fibre enforced polymers
In this application 3 samples made out of a polycarbonate, Lexan 123 R, matrix reinforced with different amounts of nanofibres from Hyperion Catalysis (FIBRIL) are tested with the Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyser and the anisotropic module. The fibers lie mainly in the plane of the sensor.
