Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is thermal conductivity testing?
Thermal conductivity is a material property that defines the intrinsic ability of a material to transfer or conduct heat. The heat conductivity occurs through molecular agitation and contact, and does not result in the bulk movement of the solid itself. Heat moves along a temperature gradient, from an area of high temperature and high molecular energy to an area with a lower temperature and lower molecular energy. This transfer will continue until thermal equilibrium is reached. The rate at which heat is transferred is dependent upon the magnitude of the temperature gradient, and the specific thermal characteristics of the material.
Q: How to test for thermal conductivity?
There are a number of possible options to measure thermal conductivity, each of them is suitable for a limited range of materials, depending on the thermal properties and temperature. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat from one part of a body to another with which it is in contact.

Thermtest offers various thermal conductivity testing services. Our thermal conductivity measurement methods cover a wide range of temperature and sample types. If you have any questions about testing, please contact us and we will answer as quickly as possible.
