Mathis Instruments specializes in rapid, non-destructive thermal instrumentation. The company's sensor devices measure the heat transfer properties of materials providing solutions for fast-paced R&D, manufacturing and quality control environments.
Established in 1995 and based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Mathis Instruments has developed and patented technology - the (thermal conductivity) TC ProbeTM and the new TC-30. |
The company's technology is used in a wide range of applications from complex chip delamination and heat exchanger design to new applications in blend uniformity in pharmaceutical powders. Product applications have been developed for industries such as aerospace, appliance, automotive, petroleum and electronics.
Mathis manufactures and sells the TC Probe, the world's first rapid non-destructive thermal conductivity testing device. Its products offer assessments of material properties which include thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal effusivity (Inertia). Thermal conductivity is a key parameter for evaluating materials involved in thermal management. Thermal conductivity is a consideration at all levels when thermal engineers design for optimum heat dissipation, bonding and homogeneity.
Thermal conductivity is a critical thermophysical property to be monitored while manufacturing foam insulation for industries from construction to appliances. It is also critical during the production of vacuum insulation panels. In the past, quality control testing has been limited to guarded hot plate testing. However, this method is not only time consuming, but also has size constraints. Mathis' non-destructive instruments for evaluating the thermal conductivity of encapsulated materials has been developed without sample preparation or sample size constraints.
Solutions for fast paced R&D, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), and production environments are made possible with Mathis' innovative sensor technology. Speed and sampling flexibility make on-line testing a reality. The immediate impact of the company's technology for oils, greases, and waxes is felt in the areas of non-destructive research, in process QC, testing of finished products and the evaluation of suppliers materials.
The company is also committed to the research and development of innovative solutions to improve blend uniformity and to address and satisfy the needs of the food and pharmaceutical industries.
