Scope1.1 This standard provides definitions, symbols, units, andabbreviations of terms used in ASTM standards pertaining tothermal insulating materials, and to materials

(Seediscussion under apparent thermal conductivity.)DISCUSSIONThermal conductivity testing is usually done in one oftwo apparatus/specimen geometries: flat-slab specimens with parallelheat flux lines, or cylindrical specimens with radial heat flux lines. The

34、operational definitions of thermal conductivity for these two cases aregiven as follows:Flat 2 slab geometry 5QALT(1)where:Q = heat flow rate,A = area through which Q passes, andL = thickness of the flat-slab specimen across which thetemperature difference T exists.The T/L ratio approximates the tem

36、 52T (3)where q is the heat flux vector, and T (grad T) is the temperature gra-dient vector. Except in theoretical discussions, this generalized form ofthe definition is seldom used.

If T is not sufficie
