Testing of Other Insulations

The laboratory has the necessary facilities such as Guarded Hot Plate apparatus, ovens, humidity chambers, computerized compression testing machine, etc. required to test the properties and characteristics of other type of insulations. Besides at the request of a customer, the testing of insulations according to other standards as well as according to their specific requirement can also be carried out.

Testing of Other Insulations

(1) It is an absolute method for the measurement of the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation material.
(2) The most common measurement consists of symmetrically arranged guarded hot plate where the heater assembly is sandwiched between two specimens. The guard heaters provide a unidirectional transmission of heat and prevent the heat to flow in other directions.
(3) Thermal conductivity, k=heat flux/temperature gradient
(4) Standards: ASTM C 177; ISO 8302; BIS 3346; BS EN 12667
