- **Equipment and requirements**
  - The package includes one LFA 717 HyperFlash System for contactless measurement of thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity, in accordance with ASTM E 1461 and other standards.
  - Accessories include a steel furnace, MCT detector, refrigerated bath circulator, liquid-nitrogen cooling system, reduced-pressure and gas-cycling equipment, sample holders, reference samples, and digital operating instructions.
  - Installation and commissioning are included. A NETZSCH preventative-maintenance agreement is also listed, with one annual visit including calibration and automatic annual renewal unless canceled.
- **Delivery and value**
  - Estimated delivery is approximately seven weeks after receipt of order. No fixed start or end dates are stated.
