ASTM E1461 Standard Test Method for Thermal Dissipation of Solids by Flash Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM E1461 standard. This test method basically covers the determination of the thermal dissipation of homogeneous isotropic solid materials.

ASTM E1461 Standard Test Method for Thermal Dissipation of Solids by Flash Method

This test method is applicable to measurements of the spectrum of the energy pulse on opaque materials, but can be used on completely or partially transparent materials with special precautions.

This test method aims to allow for a wide variety of apparatus designs. In this type of testing method, it is impractical to establish details of construction and procedures to cover all possibilities that may present difficulties to a person without relevant technical knowledge, or to halt or restrict research and development for improvements in basic technique.

This test method is applicable mainly to measurements carried out entirely on dense materials; however, it has been found to produce acceptable results when used with porous samples in some cases.

Because the size of the porosity, pore shapes, sizes, and pore distribution parameters influence the behavior of thermal diffusion, extreme care must be taken when analyzing the data. Special care is recommended when other properties such as thermal conductivity are derived from the thermal dissipation obtained by this method.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
