15、nited States.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Principle of OperationIn principle, a slug of ther-mally conductive metal, capable of withstanding elevatedtemperatures, is surrounded with another material of a uniformthickness (the specimen) whose thermal conductivity is sub-stantially lower than that of the
16、 slug. When the outer surface ofthis assembly is exposed to a temperature above that of theslug, heat will pass through the outer layer, causing a tempera-ture rise in the slug itself. The temperature rise of the slug iscontrolled by the amount and rate of heat conducted to itssurface (flux), its ma
17、ss, and its specific heat capacity. With theknowledge of these properties, the rate of temperature rise ofthe slug is in direct proportion to the heat flux entering it. Thus,under these conditions, the slug becomes a flux-gaugingdevice. From this measured flux, along with the measuredthermal gradien
18、t across the outer (specimen) layer, the apparentthermal conductivity of the specimen can be calculated. Whenthe heat source is removed, during natural cooling, the direc-tion of the heat flow will be reversed. Still, from the measuredflux and thermal gradient, the apparent thermal conductivitycan b
19、e calculated.4.2 Boundary ConditionsThe ideal model describedabove is based on heat flow toward the slug, perpendicularly tothe specimen, and always through the specimen. Deviatingfrom ideality can be due to:4.2.1 Thickness non-uniformity of the outer layer.4.2.2 Inhomogeneity (chemical or microstru
20、ctural) of theouter layer.4.2.3 Parasitic paths through cracks, gaps or other mechani-cally induced paths.4.2.4 Parasitic paths through wires, sheaths (thermo-couples), etc., that are unavoidable parts of a practical embodi-ment.4.2.5 Delamination of the specimen from the slugs surface(gap formation
21、).NOTE 2The user of this method should be very aware of the fact thatthe contact resistance between the specimen(s) and the slug may notalways be neglected, and in some cases may be even significant, becomingprobably the most important source of uncertainty in the measurement.For low-density porous
22、materials, however, it was found that, generally,the contact resistance between the specimen(s) and the slug may beneglected.4.3 ConfigurationsThis method lends itself to many pos-sible geometrical configurations, a few of which are listedbelow:4.3.1 For pipe (tubular) insulations, a cylindrical slu
23、g is tobe used. End faces are to be blocked with insulation.4.3.2 For flat plate stock (insulating boards, bulk materials,etc.), a rectangular shaped slug is considered most practical,with the specimen material covering:4.3.2.1 Both large faces of the slab, with the edges heavilyinsulated.4.3.2.2 On
24、e large face of the slab, with the other face andthe edges heavily insulated.4.4 OperationFor simplicity, only the rectangular em-bodiment is described below:4.4.1 Twin Specimens (Double-Sided)A sandwich testspecimen is prepared consisting of twin specimens of thematerial, of known mass and known an
25、d nominally identicalthickness, between which is sandwiched a stainless steelthermal capacitance transducer (slug) of known mass. Theentire sandwich is placed between two (high temperature)metal retaining plates, and the bolts holding the configurationtogether are tightened with a torque not to exce
26、ed 1 kgm, tomaintain a slight compressive load on the specimen. Theassembled specimen is placed in a temperature-controlledenvironment and the temperatures of the steel slug and exposedsurfaces of the specimens versus time are measured during thecourse of multiple heating and cooling cycles. Under s
27、teady-state (constant rate) heating or cooling conditions, the apparentthermal conductivity is derived from the measured temperaturegradients across the two specimens, the measured rate oftemperature increase/decrease of the steel slug, and the knownmasses and specific heat capacities of the specime
28、ns and thestainless steel slug. In principle, the test apparatus is similar tothe Cenco-Fitch apparatus (1)4that is employed in Test MethodD2214 for determining the thermal conductivity of leather.Measuring the heat transfer through a material by using athermal capacitance transducer is similar to t
29、he approach that isemployed for measuring heat-transfer rates in Test MethodE457.4.4.2 Single Specimen (One-Sided)Similarly to the above,one unknown specimen is placed on one side of the slug andanother known specimen (buffer) of extremely high thermalresistance is placed on the other side. In this
30、instance, the outersurface of the buffer may be heated at the same time as theother side, just like in case of a twin specimen, or may be leftunheated if it can be established that heat losses from the slugthrough this face are negligible.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is useful for testin
31、g materials in general,including composites and layered types.5.2 The practice is especially useful for materials whichundergo significant reactions or local dimensional changes, orboth, during exposure to elevated temperatures and thus aredifficult to evaluate using existing standard test methods s
32、uchas Test Method C1113.5.3 Performing the test over multiple heating/cooling cyclesallows an assessment of the influence of reactions, phasechanges, and mass transfer of reactions gases (for example,steam) on the thermal performance.NOTE 3This method has been found to be especially applicable totes
33、ting fire resistive materials.6. Apparatus6.1 Thermal Capacitance (Slug) Calorimeter:6.1.1 The steel slug shall be manufactured from AISI 304stainless steel or any other well characterized material ofproper temperature service. Dimensions of the steel slug andthe holes to be drilled for temperature
34、sensor insertion areprovided in Fig. 1. These dimensions and configuration areused for expediency in further discussion, without the intent of4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.E2584 102posing restrictions on other sizes or configurations,
35、 or hinder-ing the adaptation of other engineering solutions.6.1.2 Two high temperature metal retaining plates, nomi-nally of size 200 by 200 mm, shall be employed to hold thetwin specimens, steel slug, and surrounding guard insulation inplace and under a slight compression.6.1.3 The steel slug and
36、twin specimens shall be surroundedon all sides by an appropriate high temperature insulation,nominally of 25 mm thickness. Three holes shall be drilledthrough the section of insulation that covers the top of the slugin direct line with the corresponding milled holes in the steelslug to allow for ins
37、ertion of the temperature sensors.6.2 Insulation Materials:6.2.1 A large variety of materials exists for providing theguard insulation that surrounds the stainless steel slug andspecimens. Several factors must be considered during selectionof the most appropriate insulation. The insulation must best
38、able over the anticipated temperature range, have a very lowl, and be easy to handle, cut, and insert holes. In addition, theinsulation should not contaminate system components, it musthave a low toxicity, and it should not conduct electricity. Ingeneral, microporous insulation boards are employed.
39、Typi-cally, these materials exhibit a room temperature thermalconductivity as low as 0.02 W/(mK) and a thermal conductiv-ity of less than 0.04 W/(mK) at 1073 K. These values aremuch lower than those of typical materials that can be testedusing this method.6.3 Temperature-Controlled Environment:6.3.1
40、 The temperature controlled environment shall consistof an enclosed volume in which the temperature can becontrolled during heating and monitored during (natural)cooling. The heating units shall be capable of supplyingsufficient energy to achieve the temperatures required for theevaluation of the ma
41、terials under test. Typically, the heatedenvironment ranges in temperature between room temperatureand 1000C during the course of a single heating/cooling cycle.6.3.2 One example would be a temperature-controlled fur-nace with an electronic control system that allows the program-ming of one or more
42、temperature ramps. For example, thefollowing temperature setpoints (versus time) have been suc-cessfully employed in the past: 538C after 45 min, 704Cafter 70 min, 843C after 90 min, 927C after 105 min, and1010C after 2 h.6.4 Temperature Sensors:6.4.1 There shall be a minimum of three temperaturesen
43、sors to be inserted into the pre-drilled holes in the stainlesssteel slug. The multiple sensors are useful to indicate theFIG. 1 Schematic of AISI 304 Stainless Steel Slug CalorimeterE2584 103validity of one-dimensional heat transfer through the speci-men(s) to the steel slug. Temperature sensors ma
44、y also bemounted in milled grooves on the exterior surface of thespecimens, one sensor per specimen. When this is not possible,the exposed face of the specimen may be assumed to have atemperature equal to the measured temperature of thetemperature-controlled environment.6.4.2 For the purposes of thi
45、s test, it is reasonable topostulate that the surface temperature of the slug is identical toits mean temperature. When comparatively high thermal con-ductivity specimens are used, it is practical to embed atemperature sensor near to or on the slugs surface.6.4.3 Any sensor possessing adequate accur
46、acy may be usedfor temperature measurement. Type K or Type N thermo-couples are normally employed. Their small size and ease ofmanufacturing are distinct advantages. The sensors simplymust fit into the holes present in the thermal capacitancecalorimeter, where they can be easily inserted during thea
47、ssembly of the configuration within the temperature-controlled environment.6.4.4 When thermocouples are employed, a constant tem-perature reference shall always be provided for all coldjunctions. This reference can be an ice-cold slurry, a constanttemperature zone box, or an integrated cold junction
48、 compen-sation (CJC) sensor.All thermocouples shall be fabricated fromeither calibrated thermocouple wire or from wire that has beencertified by the supplier to be within the limits of errorspecified in Table 1 of Specification E230. Thermocouples canbe calibrated as described in Test Method E220.6.
49、5 Data Acquisition SystemWhile manual acquisition ofthe data is possible, for convenience, increased reliability, andavoidance of transcription errors, it is recommended that anappropriate data acquisition system be employed to automati-cally monitor all of the temperature sensors at regular (1 minfor example) intervals. As examples, data may be acquiredusing a thermocouple input module or a voltmeter/multimetersystem. In the latter case, the measured signals shall beconverted to temperatures using the appropriate tables fromSpecification E230.7. Hazard
