Compare Suppliers on Measured Performance, Not Claims.

Every TIM supplier datasheet uses different test conditions. Dynamic TIMs Testing puts candidate materials on one rig, under identical module conditions, so sourcing decisions rest on comparable numbers.

APPLES TO APPLES

Datasheets Are Not Comparable Documents.

Different BLT ranges, pressures, and methods make supplier conductivity values impossible to rank against each other.

COMPARABILITY
Inconsistent test conditions
Two suppliers can both report accurate values and still not be directly comparable.
COST RISK
Paying for unused headroom
A higher-specification material may not show a measurable advantage at your BLT and pressure.
SUPPLY RISK
Unvalidated second sources
Qualifying an alternate source without comparable data leaves thermal behaviour unverified.
Benchmark incumbent and alternate materials side by side under identical Siemens DynTIM conditions before you commit volume.

How Purchasing Teams Use It
→Rank candidate suppliers on identical, measured conditions
→Qualify second sources with defensible equivalence data
→Negotiate on evidence rather than marketing claims
→Avoid over-specification and unnecessary material cost

Source TIMs on Comparable, Independent Data.

One rig, one method, one report — comparable data sourcing and engineering can review together.
