Laser Flash Thermal Diffusivity Measurement Instrument

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), CanmetMATERIALS (CANMET-MTL),
Hamilton, ON, requires a laser flash thermal diffusivity
measurement instrument including: installation, commissioning,
training, manuals and drawings and service to support the
research and development of a variety of projects. This
instrument determines the thermal diffusivity of a material by
measuring the temperature of the sample in response to a laser
pulse. The projects supported by this instrument include novel
materials for heat exchanger to thermoelectric materials.  The
object of this equipment is to provide researchers with an
essential tool to support the research and development of heat
exchanger and thermoelectric materials in determining the
thermal diffusivity and specific heat of these materials from
room temperature to 1100 degrees Celsius ( C).   

All the deliverables must be received within 12 weeks from
Contract award.

The period of the Contract is from date of Contract to two years
from Site Acceptance Test approval.

Please refer to the Request for Proposal for the detailed
