Plastics — Determination of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity — Part 1: General principles

ISO 22007-1:2009 describes the background to methods for the determination of the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of polymeric materials. Different techniques are available for these measurements and some may be better suited than others for a particular type, state and form of material. ISO 22007-1 provides a broad overview of these techniques. Standards specific to these techniques, as referenced in ISO 22007-1, are used for the actual test methods.
