FOX 50 Heat Flow Meter

The FOX 50 Heat Flow Meter from TA Instruments is a microprocessor-based instrument for testing materials in the conductivity range of 0.1 W/mK to 10 W/mK.

The FOX 50 Heat Flow Meter is an easy-to-use, accurate instrument for measuring thermal conductivity and delivers fast results in a compact footprint. The instrument is configured with the same high performance features and proprietary technologies of the larger FOX systems including thin film heat flux transducers, responsive temperature control, digital thickness measurements as well as an integrated contact-resistance correction.

Covering a broad range of temperatures, the FOX 50 is a perfect choice for measurements of medium-conductivity materials such as plastics, glasses, concrete, composites, ceramics and more.
