Laser Flash Analyzers
(LFA)
Laser/Light Flash Analysis: The light flash method, also known as the laser flash method, measures Thermal Diffusivity
and conductivity by applying a short, intense pulse of energy to one side of a sample. This pulse heats the surface, causing a transient temperature rise that is monitored by an infrared detector on the opposite side. The time-dependent temperature rise is recorded, allowing thermal properties to be calculated based on the rate at which heat diffuses through the material. This method is fast, non-destructive, and effective on a wide range of materials.
