San Diego Instruments

Established in 1969, International Thermal Instrument Company supplies custom thermal instrumentation to numerous US and Foreign National Laboratories, NASA, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as well as many private and state run universities. Some of the products offered by the company include thermoelectric calorimeters, geothermal heat flux transducers, thermal conductivity analyzers, thermoelectric differential, flame intensity calorimeters and specific heat apparatus among others. In addition, the company it conducts refrigerator insulation testing and building insulation conformance tests as a part of its heat loss detection systems.

Filmetrics was founded in 1995 with the mission of making thin-film measurements simple and affordable. Prior to our arrival, film-thickness measurement instruments cost $50,000 or more and required advanced training. Single measurements took as long as an hour. The Filmetrics approach, borne of the microelectronics and software revolution, results in film-thickness measurements that take less than a second - by operators who can be trained in minutes.
