Transient Plane Source (TPS)

TPS is a versatile transient method for thermal conductivity and diffusivity across solids, powders, and selected other sample formats, combining strong performance with practical workflow flexibility.

Versatile Thermal Transport Testing

Measure conductivity and diffusivity across materials

TPS uses a planar sensor as both heat source and detector to determine thermophysical properties from transient response, making it suitable for a broad range of materials and geometries. It is widely used for thermal conductivity and diffusivity characterization in both research and routine testing contexts.

A major strength of TPS is method versatility across sample types, from dense solids to powders and selected low-conductivity systems, with instrument options adapted to different performance levels and throughput needs. Reliable results depend on sensor choice, contact quality, sample preparation, and parameter settings. With the right configuration, TPS provides efficient, decision-ready thermal transport data for development, benchmarking, and quality control.
