Research and consultancy on thermal properties for a wide range of materials, from -170 °C to 2000 °C, under controlled atmospheres.

At NPL we can measure: thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, thermal expansion, thermal transmittance and thermal resistance.

For a wide range of materials such as: metals & alloys refractories, ceramics, graphite, composites, polymers,
foods and insulation.

The thermal performance of materials is important to sectors such as: Energy generation, sustainability, advanced manufacturing
