Correction on the Influence of Thermal Contact Resistance in Thermal Conductivity Measurements Using the Guarded Hot Plate Method

Abstract

This work considers the influence of finite thermal contact resistances which exist in thermal conductivity measurements of homogeneous and poor thermal conductive materials using the guarded hot plate method. As an example of correction method proposed in this work, different experimental results obtained from a standard reference material sample (with the conductivity of about 1 W/mK) have been presented.
