Added a product service page for measuring the thermal conductivity of thermal pads!

Are you measuring the correct thermal conductivity of the thermal pad?

A thermal pad is a type of thermal interface material used for heat dissipation in CPUs and power devices. Due to its flexibility and relatively high thermal conductivity, it effectively reduces contact thermal resistance by filling the gaps between the heat sink and the device. Do you accurately understand the thermal conductivity of thermal pads? Thermal pads have elasticity, so their contact state changes with pressure. In other words, the effective thermal conductivity varies with pressure. Additionally, many materials exhibit temperature dependence in thermal conductivity, meaning that as the temperature increases, the thermal conductivity decreases. In this instance, we measured a commercially available thermal pad with a specification of 1.5W/mK. This is a soft type referred to as a soft thermal pad. The measurement device used is our steady-state thermal conductivity measurement device, the SS-H40.

• Contract measurement

Understanding the mechanism of heat transfer and effectively dissipating heat is important! Here we introduce various methods for measuring thermal properties.

Due to factors such as "miniaturization = fanless design" and "widespread use of power devices = increased heat generation," thermal issues have become important. Thermal conductivity measurement can be broadly classified into two categories: "steady-state method" and "transient method." The steady-state method provides direct thermal conductivity values and requires relatively large samples. The transient method can measure thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity, and it is possible to measure with relatively small samples. We provide further detailed explanations, so please take a look at the PDF download below. 【Characteristics of the "Steady-State Method" and "Transient Method"】 ■ Steady-State Method - Direct thermal conductivity can be obtained - Requires relatively large samples ■ Transient Method - Can measure thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity - Can measure with relatively small samples - Requires specific heat capacity and density *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

SPACECOOL Inc. has received the Excellence Award in the "JA Accelerator Program 8th Term," an open innovation program hosted by the "AgVenture Lab," an innovation lab by eight JA Group organizations nationwide, which supports startup companies with innovative ideas and technologies in the agriculture, forestry, and livestock sectors. In this program, startups that passed the preliminary screening from a record number of over 270 applications presented at the final selection meeting held on May 21, 2026. During this event, our company proposed a new solution utilizing the radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL" to maintain and improve productivity in the agriculture and livestock industry and to reduce the risk of heatstroke for agricultural workers, earning the Excellence Award. Due to the worsening heat waves associated with recent climate change, the importance of heat countermeasures in the agriculture and livestock industry has increased. Taking this recognition as an opportunity, our company aims to further contribute to various challenges related to heat in the agriculture and livestock sector through the radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL." Additionally, to accelerate our expansion into the agriculture, forestry, and livestock sectors, we will participate in the upcoming "Livestock Week" this month to recruit demonstration sites.
