The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to TA Instruments - A Division of Waters Ltd for the supply of a Flash Analyser for thermal diffusivity measurements on behalf of the Nuclear AMRC at Brunel Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham.

The equipment supports manufacturing research activities within the nuclear sector by enabling non-destructive measurement of thermal diffusivity across applied materials from room temperature to 1600°C.

It will be installed at the Nuclear AMRC's metallurgical laboratory, complementing existing Dilatometer and DSC techniques to generate accurate thermophysical and thermodynamic databases for advanced nuclear materials, including newly developed steels, alloys, ceramics, and composites.

The contract value was AUD 174,000.
