FAQsNPL's Thermal Performance team provides a wide range of measurement facilities for characterising thermophysical properties of materials and the heat transfer within engineering structures.
Thermophysics FAQs
- Accurate measurement of thermal conductivity is not quite as straightforward as the simple steady-state theory would suggest.
- The key references for thermophysical properties data are as follows.
- The following list summarises the main standards documents relating to the measurement of thermal conductivity of construction materials, refractories and plastics.
- Thermophysical properties can be simply defined as material properties that vary with temperature without altering the material's chemical identity.
