Thermal Conductivity Testing: Finding the Right Method for Your Application

Thermal conductivity can be measured with different methods — but which one is the right choice for your material, temperature range and application? In this opening session, Dorothea Stobitzer introduces the NETZSCH portfolio for Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1). According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always flows in the direction of the lower temperature.thermal conductivity testing, including LFA, HFM, GHP and GHFM.

Using practical measurement examples, this webinar shows how different instruments support different material questions — from insulation materials to high-performance solids. Participants will gain a clear overview of available technologies and learn how to select the most suitable method for reliable Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1).
