1、Designation: C518 10Standard Test Method forSteady-State Thermal Transmission Properties by Means ofthe Heat Flow Meter Apparatus1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C518; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis

2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method cov

3、ers the measurement of steady statethermal transmission through flat slab specimens using a heatflow meter apparatus.1.2 The heat flow meter apparatus is used widely because itis relatively simple in concept, rapid, and applicable to a widerange of test specimens. The precision and bias of the heat

4、flowmeter apparatus can be excellent provided calibration is carriedout within the range of heat flows expected. This meanscalibration shall be carried out with similar types of materials,of similar thermal conductances, at similar thicknesses, meantemperatures, and temperature gradients, as expecte

5、d for thetest specimens.1.3 This a comparative, or secondary, method of measure-ment since specimens of known thermal transmission proper-ties shall be used to calibrate the apparatus. Properties of thecalibration specimens must be traceable to an absolute mea-surement method. The calibration specim

6、ens should be ob-tained from a recognized national standards laboratory.1.4 The heat flow meter apparatus establishes steady stateone-dimensional heat flux through a test specimen between twoparallel plates at constant but different temperatures. Byappropriate calibration of the heat flux transducer

7、(s) withcalibration standards and by measurement of the plate tempera-tures and plate separation. Fouriers law of heat conduction isused to calculate thermal conductivity, and thermal resistivityor thermal resistance and thermal conductance.1.5 This test method shall be used in conjunction withPract

8、ice C1045. Many advances have been made in thermaltechnology, both in measurement techniques and in improvedunderstanding of the principles of heat flow through materials.These advances have prompted revisions in the conceptualapproaches to the measurement of the thermal transmissionproperties (1-4)

9、.2All users of this test method should be awareof these concepts.1.6 This test method is applicable to the measurement ofthermal transmission through a wide range of specimen prop-erties and environmental conditions. The method has been usedat ambient conditions of 10 to 40C with thicknesses up toap

10、proximately 250 mm, and with plate temperatures from195C to 540C at 25-mm thickness (5, 6).1.7 This test method may be used to characterize materialproperties, which may or may not be representative of actualconditions of use. Other test methods, such as Test MethodsC236 or C976 should be used if ne

11、eded.1.8 To meet the requirements of this test method the thermalresistance of the test specimen shall be greater than 0.10m2K/W in the direction of the heat flow and edge heat lossesshall be controlled, using edge insulation, or a guard heater, orboth.1.9 It is not practical in a test method of thi

12、s type to try toestablish details of construction and procedures to cover allcontingencies that might offer difficulties to a person withoutpertinent technical knowledge. Thus users of this test methodshall have sufficient knowledge to satisfactorily fulfill theirneeds. For example, knowledge of hea

13、t transfer principles, lowlevel electrical measurements, and general test procedures isrequired.1.10 The user of this method must be familiar with andunderstand the Annex. The Annex is critically important inaddressing equipment design and error analysis.1.11 Standardization of this test method is n

14、ot intended torestrict in any way the future development of improved or newmethods or procedures by research workers.1.12 Since the design of a heat flow meter apparatus is nota simple matter, a procedure for proving the performance of anapparatus is given in Appendix X3.1This test method is under t

Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a rapid mean

37、s of determiningthe steady-state thermal transmission properties of thermalinsulations and other materials with a high level of accuracywhen the apparatus has been calibrated appropriately.4.2 Proper calibration of the heat flow meter apparatusrequires that it be calibrated using specimen(s) having

38、thermaltransmission properties determined previously by Test Meth-ods C177,orC1114.NOTE 1Calibration of the apparatus typically requires specimens thatare similar to the types of materials, thermal conductances, thicknesses,mean temperatures, and temperature gradients as expected for the testspecime

39、ns.4.3 The thermal transmission properties of specimens of agiven material or product may vary due to variability of thecomposition of the material; be affected by moisture or otherconditions; change with time; change with mean temperatureand temperature difference; and depend upon the prior thermal

40、history. It must be recognized, therefore, that the selection oftypical values of thermal transmission properties representativeof a material in a particular application should be based on aconsideration of these factors and will not apply necessarilywithout modification to all service conditions.4.

41、3.1 As an example, this test method provides that thethermal properties shall be obtained on specimens that do notcontain any free moisture although in service such conditionsmay not be realized. Even more basic is the dependence of thethermal properties on variables, such as mean temperature andtem

42、perature difference. These dependencies should be mea-sured or the test made at conditions typical of use.4.4 Special care shall be taken in the measurement proce-dure for specimens exhibiting appreciable inhomogeneities,anisotropies, rigidity, or especially high or low resistance toheat flow (see P

43、ractice C1045). The use of a heat flow meterapparatus when there are thermal bridges present in thespecimen may yield very unreliable results. If the thermalbridge is present and parallel to the heat flow the resultsobtained may well have no meaning. Special considerationsalso are necessary when the

44、 measurements are conducted ateither high or low temperatures, in ambient pressures above orbelow atmospheric pressure, or in special ambient gases thatare inert or hazardous.4.5 The determination of the accuracy of the method for anygiven test is a function of the apparatus design, of the relatedin

45、strumentation, and of the type of specimens under test (seeSection 10), but this test method is capable of determiningthermal transmission properties within 6 2 % of those deter-mined by Test Method C177 when the ambient temperature isnear the mean temperature of the test (T (ambient) = T (mean)6 1C

46、), and in the range of 10 to 40C. In all cases theaccuracy of the heat flow meter apparatus can never be betterthan the accuracy of the primary standards used to calibrate theapparatus.4.5.1 When this test method is to be used for certificationtesting of products, the apparatus shall have the capabi

47、litiesrequired in A1.7 and one of the following procedures shall befollowed:4.5.1.1 The apparatus shall have its calibration checkedwithin 24 h before or after a certification test using eithersecondary transfer standards traceable to, or calibration stan-dards whose values have been established by,

48、 a recognizednational standards laboratory not more than five years prior tothe certification date. The average of two calibrations shall beused as the calibration factor and the specimen(s) certified withthis average value. When the change in calibration factor isgreater than 1 %, the standard spec

49、imen shall be retested and anew average calculated. If the change in calibration factor isstill greater than 1 % the apparatus shall be calibrated using theprocedure in Section 6.4.5.1.2 Where both the short and long term stability of theapparatus have been proven to be better than 1 % of the reading(see Section 10), the apparatus may be calibrated at lessfrequent intervals, not exceeding 30 days. The specimens sotested cannot be certified until after the calibration test follow-ing the test and then only if the change in calibration
