GHP 600
Guarded Hot Plate with touch display - for specimen dimensions up to 600 mm x 600 mm
Highlights
Guarded Hot Plate - The Absolute Method for Testing Insulation Materials
Measuring devices of the GHP 600 series are robust cabinet devices which are especially suited for testing thicker specimens. Thanks to the integrated single board computer (SBC) with Windows operating system, the Lambda software and the high-resolution color touch display, the devices are very user-friendly.
Numerous interfaces such as RS232, USB and Gigabit Ethernet enable connectivity to peripheral devices and allow for fast and convenient data transfer. Connection to an external PC allows for the extensive evaluation of test results and the printing of test reports.

Method
Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1). According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always flows in the direction of the lower temperature.Thermal Conductivity - A Key Parameter for Improved Energy Efficiency
Guarded Hot Plate - Principle of Operation
The hot plate and the guard ring are sandwiched between two samples of the same material and approximately the same thickness, d. Cold plates are placed above and below the samples. All plate temperatures are controlled such that a well‐ defined, user‐selectable temperature difference, ΔT, is established between the hot and the cold plates – and thus across the sample thickness. The guard ring is maintained exactly at hot plate temperature in order to minimize lateral heat losses.

Accessories and options for expanding upon the functions of the devices are available. The operator can adapt the different measuring tasks as needed with regard to determining the Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1). According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always flows in the direction of the lower temperature.thermal conductivity using heat flow meters, guarded hot plates and guarded hot pipes. Auxiliary equipment is required for certain measurements, especially those involving materials such as insulating glass or other insulating materials, natural stone, concrete, plastics, composite materials or loose materials like granulates or flakes. In addition, suitable reference materials should be used for routinely checking and validating the devices.
