Description of BS EN ISO 22007-2:2022 2022
This document specifies a method for the determination of the
thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, and hence the
specific heat capacity per unit volume of plastics. The
experimental arrangement can be designed to match different
specimen sizes. Measurements can be made in gaseous and vacuum
environments at a range of temperatures and pressures. This method
gives guidelines for testing homogeneous and isotropic materials,
as well as anisotropic materials with a uniaxial structure. The
homogeneity of the material extends throughout the specimen and no
thermal barriers (except those next to the probe) are present
within a range defined by the probing depth(s) (see 3.1). The
method is suitable for materials having values of thermal
conductivity, ?, in the approximate range
0,010 W?m?1?K?1 < ? < 500 W?m?1?K?1, values of thermal
diffusivity, ?, in the range
5 × 10?8 m2?s?1 < ? < 10?4 m2?s?1, and for temperatures, T,
in the approximate range 50Â KÂ <Â TÂ <Â 1Â 000Â K. NOTEÂ 1Â Â The
specific heat capacity per unit volume, C, C = ? ? cp, where ? is
the density and cp is the specific heat per unit mass and at
constant pressure, can be obtained by dividing the thermal
conductivity, ?, by the thermal diffusivity, ?, i.e. CÂ =Â ?/?, and
is in the approximate range
0,005Â MJ?m?3?K?1Â <Â CÂ <Â 5Â MJ?m?3?K?1. It is also referred to
as the volumetric heat capacity. NOTEÂ 2Â Â If the intention is to
determine the thermal resistance or the apparent thermal
conductivity in the through-thickness direction of an inhomogeneous
product (for instance a fabricated panel) or an inhomogeneous slab
of a material, reference is made to ISOÂ 8301, ISOÂ 8302 and ISOÂ 472.
The thermal-transport properties of liquids can also be determined,
provided care is taken to minimize thermal convection.
