Abstract
The thermal characterization of a material under its conditions of use (temperature, pressure, etc.) is an essential step to check its adequacy with regard to a specific application and to predict its behavior. For needs of material characterization, Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique (CEA) has developed with Laboratoire National de Metrologie et d’Essais (LNE) a new apparatus to study thermophysical properties of solid materials in the range from 300 to 3300 K. This setup allows measurements of either the thermal diffusivity by the laser flash method or the specific heat by drop calorimetry. First, thermal diffusivity measurements have been performed on Armco iron and POCO AXM-5Q1 graphite. The measured values are in agreement with results obtained by other laboratories with a relative deviation of less than 6%.
