Do you want to characterize a material regarding its thermal conductivity or thermal transport parameters at high temperatures? We can measure effective thermal conductivity up to 1 100 °C

Different fluids and pastes have different thermal conductivities at different temperatures. We perform thermal conductivity measurement on different fluids as well as oils, coolants, colloidal suspensions, aerogels, etc

For measuring instruments there are international recommendations, issued by OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology). RISE is appointed as an Issuing Authority for a number of these recommendations and can in that role issue OIML certificates. An OIML certificate can be used in an application for national or regional type approvals.

There is currently a transition from fossil-based materials to products based on renewable materials. This transition has led to a need to control the proportion of a material that comes from renewable sources, i.e. is biogenic. We can offer C 14 / Carbon 14 analysis of various materials such as fuels, plastics and chemicals.

Fatigue testing is carried out with a cyclic load, until breakage occurs. The purpose is to determine the fatigue life and strength of a material or component. We perform both standardized and specialized fatigue testing on materials and components, for both machinery and products for construction and infrastrucrure.

We offer accredited calibrations on most of the air flow meters on the market (including gas clocks) in a flow range from 0.5 ml / minute up to 2.4 m³ / s, at atmospheric pressure. This range corresponds to mass flows between 0.01 mg / s and 2.9 kg / s.

By simultaneous assessment of calorimetric (energy flows) and gravimetric (mass changes) measurements we can characterize the response of a material when heated or exposed to different gases.  With our 'Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer' (STA F3 Jupiter) we conduct simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and can therefore study phase transitions, decomposition, pyrolysis or oxidation. The instrument can handle large samples which is beneficial for heterogeneous materials.

We provide accredited calibration of laboratory sieves according to ISO 3310-1 (metal wire cloth sieves) and ISO 3310-2 (perforated metal plate sieves). The calibration is carried out in our accredited laboratory in Borås, Sweden.

We measure thermal conductivity (i.e. heat conduction) using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method according to ISO 22997-2 for which we are an accredited laboratory. The TPS method can be used to measure the thermal conductivity, diffusivity  and the specific heat capacity on solids, liquids, gels and powder in temperatures between -50 °C and 600 °C. We can also measure thermal conductivity using Transient Line Source (TLS) which is a fast and simple method with a limited temperature range between 0 °C and 100 °C.

Paper surface roughness plays a crucial role for printability and visual appearance. Several types of instruments are available topography measurements of paper surfaces in different degrees of detail.
