Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This tes

3、t method covers the measurement of steady state thermal transmission through flat slab specimens using a heat flowmeter apparatus.1.2 The heat flow meter apparatus is used widely because it is relatively simple in concept, rapid, and applicable to a wide rangeof test specimens.The precision and bias

This means calibration shall be carried out with similar types of materials, of similar thermalconductances, at similar thicknesses, mean temperatures, and temperature gradi

Properties of the calibration specimens must be traceable to an absolute measurement method.The calib

Fouriers law of heat conduction is used to calculatethermal conductivity, and thermal resistivity or thermal resistance and thermal conductance.1.5 This test method shall be used in conjunc

8、tion with Practice C1045. Many advances have been made in thermal technology,both in measurement techniques and in improved understanding of the principles of heat flow through materials. These advanceshave prompted revisions in the conceptual approaches to the measurement of the thermal transmissio

9、n properties (1-4).2 All usersof this test method should be aware of these concepts.1.6 This test method is applicable to the measurement of thermal transmission through a wide range of specimen properties andenvironmental conditions. The method has been used at ambient conditions of 10 to 40C with

10、thicknesses up to approximately250 mm, and with plate temperatures from 195C to 540C at 25-mm thickness (5, 6).1.7 This test method may be used to characterize material properties, which may or may not be representative of actualconditions of use. Other test methods, such as Test Methods C236 or C97

11、6 should be used if needed.1.8 To meet the requirements of this test method the thermal resistance of the test specimen shall be greater than 0.10 m2K/Win the direction of the heat flow and edge heat losses shall be controlled, using edge insulation, or a guard heater, or both.1.9 It is not practica

12、l in a test method of this type to try to establish details of construction and procedures to cover allcontingencies that might offer difficulties to a person without pertinent technical knowledge. Thus users of this test method shallhave sufficient knowledge to satisfactorily fulfill their needs. F

13、or example, knowledge of heat transfer principles, low levelelectrical measurements, and general test procedures is required.1.10 The user of this method must be familiar with and understand the Annex.

Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a rapid means of determining the steady-state thermal transmissio

40、n properties of thermalinsulations and other materials with a high level of accuracy when the apparatus has been calibrated appropriately.4.2 Proper calibration of the heat flow meter apparatus requires that it be calibrated using specimen(s) having thermaltransmission properties determined previous

41、ly by Test Methods C177, or C1114.NOTE 1Calibration of the apparatus typically requires specimens that are similar to the types of materials, thermal conductances, thicknesses, meantemperatures, and temperature gradients as expected for the test specimens.4.3 The thermal transmission properties of s

42、pecimens of a given material or product may vary due to variability of thecomposition of the material; be affected by moisture or other conditions; change with time; change with mean temperature andtemperature difference; and depend upon the prior thermal history. It must be recognized, therefore, t

43、hat the selection of typicalvalues of thermal transmission properties representative of a material in a particular application should be based on a considerationof these factors and will not apply necessarily without modification to all service conditions.4.3.1 As an example, this test method provid

44、es that the thermal properties shall be obtained on specimens that do not containany free moisture although in service such conditions may not be realized. Even more basic is the dependence of the thermalproperties on variables, such as mean temperature and temperature difference. These dependencies

45、 should be measured or the testmade at conditions typical of use.4.4 Special care shall be taken in the measurement procedure for specimens exhibiting appreciable inhomogeneities,anisotropies, rigidity, or especially high or low resistance to heat flow (see Practice C1045). The use of a heat flow me

46、ter apparatuswhen there are thermal bridges present in the specimen may yield very unreliable results. If the thermal bridge is present andparallel to the heat flow the results obtained may well have no meaning. Special considerations also are necessary when theC518 173measurements are conducted at

47、either high or low temperatures, in ambient pressures above or below atmospheric pressure, or inspecial ambient gases that are inert or hazardous.4.5 The determination of the accuracy of the method for any given test is a function of the apparatus design, of the relatedinstrumentation, and of the ty

48、pe of specimens under test (see Section 10), but this test method is capable of determining thermaltransmission properties within 6 2 % of those determined by Test Method C177 when the ambient temperature is near the meantemperature of the test (T (ambient) = T (mean) 6 1C), and in the range of 10 t

49、o 40C. In all cases the accuracy of the heat flowmeter apparatus can never be better than the accuracy of the primary standards used to calibrate the apparatus.4.5.1 When this test method is to be used for certification testing of products, the apparatus shall have the capabilities requiredin A1.7 and one of the following procedures shall be followed:4.5.1.1 The apparatus shall have its calibration checked within 24 h before or after a certification test using either secondarytransfer standards traceable to, or calibration s
