WL 372 Heat Conduction Unit / PC Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description
The benchtop unit comprises 2 heater and cooler combinations that provide the necessary temperature difference. The linear thermal conduction experiment allows the thermal properties of different samples to be investigated. Each experimental set-up is equipped with up to nine temperature measuring points. The temperatures are displayed on the control unit. The heater power is also adjusted and displayed here. The measured data can be transferred to a PC for further processing (PC not included). A data acquisition card and software are included in the scope of supply.
A supply of cooling water is required.
