Thermal conductivity meter

A thermal conductivity meter measures how well a material conducts heat. It works by placing the material between a heat source and a temperature sensor. When heat is applied, the device assesses how quickly heat passes through the material. Materials with high thermal conductivity, like metals, transfer heat rapidly, while insulators, like foam, do so slowly. This measurement helps determine material properties for applications in engineering, manufacturing, and quality control, providing valuable information about a material's ability to conduct or resist heat transfer.
