Guarded Hot Plate with a Tiltable Test Chamber

Guarded Hot Plate – The Absolute Method for Testing Insulation Materials

Measuring devices of the GHP 900 S series are cabinet devices with a tiltable test chamber that are well suited for a wide range of applications, those involving especially thicker specimens and insulating glass. The design of the device is such that specimens are inserted into the test chamber from the top. This allows for the insertion of heavy and complex samples without damaging the measuring plates. Data logging and control of the device are handled by the external Lambda Control desktop device alongside a PC with Windows operating system and Lambda software.

All features at a glance

• Large Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1). According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always flows in the direction of the lower temperature.thermal conductivity measuring range up to 2.0 W/(m·K)
• Fully insulated guarded test chamber, designed for specimens with a thickness up to 380 mm 
• Available as 1- or 2-speciment measurement method according to ISO 8302 (chapter 1.6.2) 
• Easy specimen change from the top 
• Fixation of specimens onto the measurement positioning surface 
• Electrically operated tilting mechanism for the test chamber 
• Tiltable – especially important for skylights 
• Tilting angle indicator (0 to 90°) on LCD display
