This book describes the state-of-the-art methods for the measurement of thermal and electrical conductivity, thermal diffusivity, specific heat, thermal expansion, and thermal radiative properties of solid materials, from room temperature to very high temperatures. Topics considered include axial heat flow methods of measuring thermal conductivity, the analysis of apparatus with radial symmetry for steady-state measurements of thermal conductivity, thermophysical property determinations using direct heating methods, the guarded hot-plate method for thermal conductivity measurements, the hot-wire method for the measurement of the thermal conductivity of refractory materials, the B.S. 1902 panel test method for the measurement of the thermal conductivity of refractory materials, high-temperature measurements of electric conductivity, pulse techniques for thermal diffusivity measurement, temperature wave techniques, adiabatic calorimetry, modulation calorimetry, thermal expansion measurement by interferometry, and certified reference materials for thermophysical properties.
