Equipment: Thermal Interface Material Analyzer (TIMA 5), Nanotest
Technique: Thermal Interface Material Analyzer for measurement of thermal properties of materials (pastes, solids, adhesives etc.)
Description:
A system for thermal and thermo-mechanical characterization of thermal interface materials as well as other material classes with low to medium thermal conductivities. It complies with ASTM D5470 standard.
It is used to obtain:
- Thermal interface resistance
- Pressure and temperature dependency
- Effective and bulk thermal conductivity
- Overall thermal resistance
Specifications:

- Standard: ASTM D5470
- Target: Thermal interface material – Pastes, Phase change materials, thin and thick substrates upto 1cm
- Limit: 1 mm²K/W
- Samples size: 1 cm diameter
- Sample temperature: upto 150 Deg
- Force: ± 300 N clamping and tensile force with integrated load cell
- Force measurement resolution: ~0.1 N and control can be around 1N force.
