An insulation-material thermal-conductivity meter determines thermal conductivity for solid building and insulation materials. Listed specimens include fiberboard, loose-fill glass and ceramic fibers, XPS/EPS/PUR foams, interlayer composite and vacuum panels, rubber, cement products, powders, fillers, and gypsum board. The page references GB/T 10294-2008 and ISO 8302.
The instrument uses thermal protection, automatic parallel adjustment between the specimen and hot/cold plates, selectable electronic cooling or water-based cooling, temperature control, computer interfacing, real-time software monitoring, data processing, and data storage. Horizontal and vertical configurations are available; the delivered form factor is configuration-dependent.
