Introducing devices for measuring the thermal diffusivity of sheet-like and plate-like materials, as well as thermal evaluation devices for fiber orientation distribution!

Introducing Bethel's thermal property measurement devices. The "Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35" is a measurement device for the thermal diffusivity of sheet and plate materials, capable of measuring the thermal diffusivity of functional materials. The "Thermal Microscope TM" has been commercialized through joint development with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's Measurement Standards Division, allowing for measurements in micro-regions and thin films. Additionally, we offer the "Thermal Imaging Scope TSI," which visualizes thermal conduction paths using infrared cameras and lasers, as well as the "Fiber Orientation Evaluation System TEFOD." 【Features of the Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35】 ■ High freedom of sample shape ■ Dynamic range from organic films to diamonds ■ Anisotropy evaluation through measurements in horizontal and vertical directions ■ Evaluation of defects and irregularities through distribution measurements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

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).

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.

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.

The hyper CLT flooring has an appeal that is difficult to convey with just the numbers in the catalog. It is a lightweight wooden flooring made using CLT, with a 5×10 panel weighing about 230 kg. Because it is relatively lightweight, it is easy to install, remove, and relocate on-site, and its ease of handling becomes more apparent when actually used. Additionally, the heat reflection and radiant heat during summer, as well as the metallic sounds from vehicle traffic, are points where you can easily notice the differences compared to traditional steel plates. By trying it out in a few specific locations such as temporary roads, delivery routes, and heavy machinery work yards, the unique characteristics of wooden flooring become evident. Furthermore, the hyper CLT flooring is registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." It can also be an option when considering new technologies for civil engineering sites. Wooden flooring, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT. The hyper CLT flooring is a lightweight wooden flooring that has value that can only be understood through use.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

In projects directly managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the use of new technologies is generally required. Therefore, in future civil engineering sites, it is important not only to consider "whether to use new technologies," but also how to select and utilize technologies that are suitable for the site. One of those options is the "Hyper CLT Board," a wooden lightweight mat that utilizes CLT. 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 suppression of glare and metallic sounds, as well as environmental considerations through the use of wood. Furthermore, it can be incorporated into proposals for the utilization of new technologies as a **NETIS registered technology by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** NETIS, new technologies, civil engineering, CLT. As public works change, the Hyper CLT Board offers a new option of wooden lightweight mats to the site.
