The thermal conductivity, also thermal conductivity of a solid or a liquid, is its ability to transport thermal energy in the form of heat.<\/p>

\u03bb = thermal conductivity [W\/m*K]

The (specific)\u00a0thermal conductivity is given in Watts per Kelvin and meter<\/strong> and is a temperature-dependent material constant.<\/p>

The thermal conductivity is to be\u00a0distinguished from the thermal diffusivity<\/strong>, which indicates the rate at which a temperature change propagates through a substance.\u00a0<\/span>Knowledge of the thermal properties of solids and liquids is becoming increasingly important today.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In many applications, such as automotive<\/strong><\/a>, aerospace, energy<\/strong><\/a>, ceramics<\/a>, glass<\/strong>, and building materials<\/strong><\/a>, very precise information about the thermal behavior of the materials used is of utmost importance.<\/p>

Thermal management of buildings, for example, is becoming an increasingly important topic due to the skyrocketing energy costs. Heat flows also play a major role in the semiconductor industry<\/strong>, for example when thinking of modern integrated systems such as computer processors.<\/p>

There are two methods of measuring thermal conductivity. In our blog post on thermal conductivity,<\/strong> we explain the scientific background to this and which measuring devices are used to cover these methods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
