4、atus designed for this purpose is known asa guarded-hot-plate apparatus and is a primary (or absolute)method. This test method is comparable, but not identical, toISO 8302.1.3 This test method sets forth the general design require-ments necessary to construct and operate a satisfactoryguarded-hot-pl

5、ate apparatus. It covers a wide variety of appa-ratus constructions, test conditions, and operating conditions.Detailed designs conforming to this test method are not givenbut must be developed within the constraints of the generalrequirements.

6、ed in the design, construction, calibration and opera-tion of a guarded-hot-plate apparatus are given in Refs (1-41).21.4 This test method encompasses both the single-sided andthe double-sided modes of measurement. Both distributed andline source guarded heating plate designs are permitted. Theuser

7、should consult the standard practices on the single-sidedmode of operation, Practice C1044, and on the line sourceapparatus, Practice C1043, for further details on these heaterdesigns.1.5 The guarded-hot-plate apparatus can be operated witheither vertical or horizontal heat flow. The user is caution

8、edhowever, since the test results from the two orientations may bedifferent if convective heat flow occurs within the specimens.1.6 Although no definitive upper limit can be given for themagnitude of specimen conductance that is measurable on aguarded-hot-plate, for practical reasons the specimen co

9、nduc-tance should be less than 16 W/(m2K).1.7 This test method is applicable to the measurement of awide variety of specimens, ranging from opaque solids toporous or transparent materials, and a wide range of environ-mental conditions including measurements conducted at ex-tremes of temperature and

10、with various gases and pressures.1.8 Inhomogeneities normal to the heat flux direction, suchas layered structures, can be successfully evaluated using thistest method. However, testing specimens with inhomogeneitiesin the heat flux direction, such as an insulation system withthermal bridges, can yie

11、ld results that are location specific andshall not be attempted with this type of apparatus. See TestMethod C1363 for guidance in testing these systems.1.9 Calculations of thermal transmission properties basedupon measurements using this method shall be performed inconformance with Practice C1045.1.

12、10 In order to ensure the level of precision and accuracyexpected, persons applying this standard must possess aknowledge of the requirements of thermal measurements andtesting practice and of the practical application of heat transfertheory relating to thermal insulation materials and systems.Detai

13、led operating procedures, including design schematicsand electrical drawings, should be available for each apparatusto ensure that tests are in accordance with this test method. Inaddition, automated data collecting and handling systemsconnected to the apparatus must be verified as to theiraccuracy.

14、 This can be done by calibration and inputting datasets, which have known results associated with them, intocomputer programs.1.11 It is not practical for a test method of this type toestablish details of design and construction and the proceduresto cover all contingencies that might offer difficult

Summary of Test Method4.1 Fig. 1 illustrates the main components of the idealizedsystem: two isothermal cold surface assemblies and a guarded-hot-plate. The guarded-hot-plate is composed of a meteredsection thermally isolated from a concentric prim

47、ary guard bya definite separation or gap. Some apparatus may have morethan one guard.The test specimen is sandwiched between thesethree units as shown in Fig. 1. In the double-sided mode ofmeasurement, the specimen is actually composed of twoFIG. 1 General Arrangement of the Mechanical Components of

The measurement in this case produces a result that isthe average of the two pieces and therefore it is important thatthe two pieces be closely identical. For guidance in the use ofthe one-sided mode of measurement, the user is directed toPractice C1044

49、. For guidance in the use of a guarded-hot-plateincorporating the use of a line source heater, refer to PracticeC1043.4.1.1 The guarded-hot-plate provides the power (heat flowper unit time) for the measurement and defines the actual testvolume, that is, that portion of the specimen that is actuallybeing measured. The function of the primary guard, andadditional coplanar guard where applicable, of the guarded-hot-plate apparatus is to provide the proper thermal conditionswithin the test volume to reduce lateral heat flow within theappar
