Objective:

 To estimate the thermal conductivity of polystyrene (insulation


material).
Apparatus:

 Thermal conductivity of buildings and insulation material unit.


Theory:
Thermal conductivity: is the ability of material to transmitted heat
(W/m.K).
Method to measure Thermal conductivity (K):
1- Steady state: by measure of temperature gradient.
2- Transient conduction: by thermo couple.
3- Heat flow meter: the tested specimen between hot and cold plats.
Procedure:

1. Switch on the unit of the main switch


2. Place the specimen and the provided two rubber mats then close the
lid.
3. Rotate the screw hand wheel anti clock wise to lower the hot plate
assembly down auto the heat flow meter plate
4. At the point when the green "test position" lamp illuminates stop the
turning and note the dial reading Multiply this value by 0.25 to give the
thickness of the specimen under testing
