This article describes an attempt to modify the transient line source probe to be useful in making in-situ measurements in the field. The field of construction, as well as many others would benefit if a new thermal probe could be applied to uncontrolled environments. Three case study buildings have been considered to ascertain the validity and reliability of this new technique in ...
In this study, a modification to the transient hot-strip (THS) method demonstrated that the thermal properties of two different materials can be measured simultaneously when placed on either side of the hot-strip sensor. Three experiments tested samples of gabbro with a regular THS sensor, a wood sensor, and a fused quartz sensor, respectively. The accuracy of the results was better than 3% between each measurement. Despite a large difference in the ...
