Institute of Thermal Physics UB RAS

The Institute of Thermal Physics UB RAS is a research facility in Yekaterinburg dedicated to studying thermal properties of materials and phase transitions in liquids. The institution operates five specialized laboratories equipped with advanced instruments for thermophysical investigations.

The institute was established in February 1988 and evolved from the Department of Physical and Technical Problems of Energy, which began research activities in 1959. These origins reflect the long continuity of thermophysical research in the region.

The institute maintains a publication record of twelve monographs on thermophysics and produces thirty research articles annually in scientific journals.

The facility is primarily a research enterprise with limited public access, so visitors should contact the institute in advance to arrange a tour. Scheduling ahead allows interested people to learn more about ongoing research projects and the research infrastructure.

Technological applications from the institute's research were implemented in practical industrial projects like turbine expansion stations at a regional power plant. This connection between fundamental research and industrial application demonstrates the hands-on value of the work conducted here.
