Thermophysical measurement

Thermophysical measurement

  • Measurement of density
  • Measurement of specific heat
  • Measurement of thermal conductivity coefficient
  • Measurement of linear thermal expansion coefficient
  • Dilatometric analysis of phase transformations (CCT and TTT diagrams)
  • Tribological measurement and measurement of wear resistance

Thermophysical measurement
Determination of wear rate and friction coefficient for various materials and environments (lubricants, atmospheres, and others) using a high-temperature tribometer of the pin-on-disc type. The measurement can be carried out from ambient temperature up to 800 °C. As part of the measurement of wear intensity, the specimen profile is mapped using a high-accuracy profilometer. With this equipment, it is possible to determine the standard surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, and others).
