We will be introducing our thermal property measurement equipment at the "High-Performance Film Exhibition - High-Performance Materials Week" (October 29-31, Makuhari Messe)‼️

Even thin and small samples, as well as samples with high thermal conductivity, can be measured!

We are also able to measure the thermal conductivity of conductive diamonds. Normally, diamonds are insulators, but by doping with boron, they can be made conductive, allowing for the creation of high-performance electrodes. This enables redox reactions that are impossible with electrodes made from other materials due to a wide potential window, and they can be used in harsh environments such as strong acids and strong alkalis, offering significant advantages. Personally, I am particularly interested in their potential use in the recycling of CFRP. The measurements will be conducted using the ThermoWave Analyzer TA35. [About the Samples] The samples this time have thicknesses of 30μm and 300μm, and with a sample size of 10mm x 10mm, it can be said that measurement with ordinary thermal conductivity measurement devices is nearly impossible. Measurement is only possible with the ThermoWave Analyzer. The 30μm thick sample is matte black with a smooth surface. The 300μm thick sample is also matte black, but its surface was slightly rough. However, this level of roughness has no effect on the measurements at all.

Leave the measurement of the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to us.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), used in electric vehicles, aircraft, satellites, and rockets, require precise knowledge of thermal conductivity. For instance, when used in electric vehicles, understanding thermal conductivity is essential for heating performance and battery thermal management. Changes in electricity consumption due to heating performance and thermal management significantly affect driving range. Similarly, when used in satellites and rockets in the harsh environment of space, it is necessary to understand thermal conductivity to ensure heat resistance performance. With Bethel, you can accurately measure the thermal conductivity of this carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).

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.

In future public works, not only construction quality but also safety measures, environmental considerations, labor-saving, and the use of new technologies will be important, along with the ingenuity applied on-site. In this context, the "Hyper CLT Board," a wooden lightweight mat using CLT, can be utilized. It can be used as a wooden mat for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards, and the 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight. In addition to ease of installation, removal, and relocation, it features the suppression of glare and metallic sounds unique to wood, as well as environmental considerations. Furthermore, it is a product that can easily incorporate proposals for the use of new technologies and creative ideas, as it is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." However, simply being registered with NETIS does not automatically result in additional points. What is important is to clarify the purpose and effects of its use on-site. Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT. The Hyper CLT Board is a new option to connect on-site ingenuity to evaluation.

Our company has launched the new "Kappa twin" dual-wheel caster for ultra-heavy load transport. It achieves a high load capacity of up to 2,200 kg per wheel, making it an optimal solution for transporting heavy items in industries such as automotive, aerospace, special vehicles, and heavy industry. The dual-wheel structure distributes the load, balancing high load capacity with excellent mobility. By reducing starting and rolling resistance, it supports smooth transport even for trolleys in the several-ton class. Additionally, it excels in turning performance, contributing to improved maneuverability in limited spaces. It is also suitable for AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and heavy transport trolleys, providing the stability, durability, and safety required in high-load environments. It covers weight ranges that were difficult to address with conventional products, contributing to solving transport challenges in manufacturing settings. This new product is recommended for companies looking to transport ultra-heavy items "more lightly and more safely."

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks 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 even 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.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
