ASTM C408 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Whiteware Ceramics
Description:
Significance and Use
2.1 This test method provides information useful in understanding and quantifying such parameters as thermal shock resistance and ability to conduct or dissipate heat.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers a general procedure2 for determining the thermal conductivity of whiteware ceramics over the temperature range from 100 to 300 °F (40 to 150 °C).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
