The main advantage of the electrical circuit lies in two
modes of operation. In the comparative mode the voltmeter
simultaneously measures U1 and U2 . This mode suppresses
the inuence of the voltage source instability and removes the
resistance of sensor leads from calculation. Then the resistance
of the sensor can be calculated from the following formula:

where tmax is the maximum time of the experiment. The
probing depth represents a distance traveled by heat during
the transient event. The sample size can be determined using
a recommendation 6.1.3 in [11], which says that the distance
from any part of the sensor to any part of the peripheral
boundary of the sample should be larger than the sensor radius.
It follows that the optimal maximum time of the experiment
is given by [16]

V. CONCLUSIONS
Thermophysical properties of a compact isostatic material
were studied. These properties were strongly dependent on the
bulk density (porosity), i.e. structure. All parameters had the
smallest values during the dehydroxylation and highest at the
maximal temperature, during sintering.
The thermal diffusivity changed by about 400% and thermal
conductivity by 700%.
Dehydroxylation of the kaolinite was observed on all graphs
except the dilatometric curves.
Both dilatometric curves showed a combined dilatation of
several minerals in the body. Kaolinite shrinkage at 560 C
was probably suppressed by the expansion of other minerals.
Sintering process was observed on all curves and started at
about 1100 C.
