What we can do
Matergenics thermal testing capabilities include measurement and analysis of thermal conductivity (U-value and R-value) as per ASTM C177-10 for different solid and porous materials such as:
- Metals
- Concrete
- Fibers
- Foams
- Insulation materials
- Polymers
- Porous materials
- Greases and pastes
- Rubbers and elastomers
Matergenics is specialized in thermal contact resistance measurements and analysis between various solid-solid, solid-porous interfaces. Our thermal conductivity and contact resistance measurements testing facility has the following capabilities:
- Compression load up to 25 bars
- Controlled environments including: vacuum or flow of humidified or dry gas to simulate the real working conditions, especially for porous media
- Effects of corrosion, coating, paint, and spray on conductivity/contact resistance
