ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus measures thermal conductivity of a material effected by measuring a change in the temperature of the material in contact with a heat source maintained at a predetermined temperature. A temperature change characteristic is obtained from the result of the temperature measurement, and the thermal conductivity is obtained by comparison of the temperature change characteristic and unsteady heat transfer characteristics of solid bodies previously determined in consideration of the heat transfer resistance of the interfaces. The present invention is suitable for the measurement of extensive materials, metallic materials to heat insulating materials, specifically suitable for the measurement of materials of high thermal conductivity and heterogeneous or anisotropic and is capable of accurately measuring the thermal conductivity without any special consideration on the interface heat transfer resistance at the measurement stage.
