The
thermal conductivity of composites is often required to determine
heat flow conditions. Thermal conductivity properties are
directionally independent and can be determined under both
steady state and transient heat flow conditions. Transient
methods actually are determinations of the thermal
diffusivity, from which the thermal conductivity may be
derived. The method to measure thermal conductivity depends
on the measurement directions parallel or transverse to the
fibre direction.
The
methods include:

The
guarded hot plate  |

The
guarded longitudinal heat flow |
