2.3 Choosing a Sensor
The KD2 Pro comes with three separate sensors designed for mea-
surements in specific sample types, the KS-1, TR-1, and SH-1. The
RK-1 is also available for purchase with your KD2 Pro.
KS-1
The small (6 cm long, 1.3 mm diameter) single needle KS-1 sen-
sor measures thermal conductivity and thermal resistivity. We de-
signed the KS-1 for liquid samples and insulating materials (thermal
conductivity < 0.1W (
W
m∗K
)). The KS-1 sensor applies a very small
amount of heat to the needle which helps to prevent free convection
in liquid samples (see Section 5 in this manual regarding measure-
