13、ates in sheet form to the transmission of heat through them in the steady state condition. It applies to materials whose thermal resistance is up to approximately 0.2 m2K/W.These methods are suitable for materials up to 20 mm thick (above this thickness, edge losses become appreciable). Advice on su
14、itable components for constructing the apparatus is given in Annex A and means of calculating the thermal conductivity are described in Annex B.Three methods are described:a) two-plate method: fixed pressure procedure;b) two-plate method: fixed opening procedure;c) single-plate method.Either of the
15、two-plate methods is suitable for materials that, when in use, have their outer faces shielded from the ambient air, e.g a blanket when covered by a bedspread.The single-plate method is suitable for materials that, when in use, have their outer faces exposed to the ambient air (e.g. bedspreads and o
16、uterwear).The two-plate methods are generally preferred on accuracy and reproducibility grounds. 2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

19、ea normal to the faces. It is analogous to electrical resistance in the case of current flow through an electrical conductor3.2 thermal conductivitykquantity of heat that passes in unit time through unit area of a slab of infinite extent and of unit thickness when unit difference of temperature exis
20、ts between the faces of the slabNOTE 1 whered is the thickness of the slab.NOTE 2 For a flat material having parallel faces, thermal conductivity is the reciprocal of thermal resistance per unit thickness .NOTE 3 Since a textile is a heterogeneous system consisting of fibres and air, the term therma
21、l conductivity does not have its usual Rdk-= BSI 25 November 20051precise meaning since, in addition to conduction, heat can be transferred through a textile by radiation and possibly by convection. The heat transfer rate incorporated in the definition is therefore the overall transfer by conduction
22、 and by radiation (and by convection where applicable).BS 4745:20053.3 togmeterequipment described in 6.14 UnitsThe SI unit of thermal resistance R is the square-metre kelvin per watt (m2K/W).NOTE A practical unit of thermal resistance, widely used in the field of textiles and clothing, is the tog:
23、1 tog = 0.1 m2K/W.The SI unit of thermal conductivity k is the watt per metre kelvin W/(mK).5 PrincipleThe temperature drop across a material of known thermal resistance (the standard resistance) and across a specimen of the material under test in series with it are measured and the thermal resistan
24、ce of the specimen is determined from the values obtained.The principle of the apparatus is that, for conductors in series with respect to the direction of heat flow, the ratio of the temperature drop across the conductors is equal to the ratio of their thermal resistance.6 Apparatus6.1 GeneralThe a
25、pparatus shall be as shown in Figure 1. The apparatus shall be horizontal, with the heat flow upwards, designed so that the measurements are made with the test specimen in the horizontal position.6.2 Principal parts6.2.1 Mild-steel disc (A), 330 mm in diameter and approximately 6 mm thick, which has
26、 been annealed to relieve internal stresses.6.2.2 Electric heaters (B1 and B2), clamped to the lower face of the disc A to give an even distribution of heat and capable of maintaining the temperature specified in 9.1 and 9.2.6.2.3 Disc of insulating board (C), of thermal resistance within the range
27、0.075 m2K/W to 0.125 m2K/W and of thickness between 5 mm and 25 mm. The disc shall be 330 mm in diameter and in contact with the hot plate of the apparatus. The surfaces of the disc shall be smooth, flat and parallel.6.2.4 Cold plate (D), the surfaces of which shall be smooth, flat and parallel, and
28、 which results in an applied pressure of 6.9 Pa over the whole of the area of 855 cm2, i.e. a circle of diameter (330 1) mm. Fixed pressure method: In the case of the fixed pressure method, the plate shall be made of a suitably light material so that the mass of the plate itself, when resting on the
29、 specimen, provides the required pressure of 6.9 Pa. In use, the plate shall be placed gently on top of the specimen, taking care not to compress the specimen. Fixed opening method: Using a suitable thickness gauge, the thickness of the test specimen shall be measured under a pressure of 6.9 Pa. Thr
30、ee thickness gauges shall be placed at regular intervals around the edge of the top plate. The thickness gauges shall be set to the measured thickness of the specimen and the coldplate shall be placed on top.6.2.5 Insulation (E), to reduce heat wastage.6.2.6 Temperature sensors (T1, T2and T3). These
31、 sensors shall be 0.20 mm to 0.315 mm diameter copper-constantan thermocouples, calibrated to 0.01 K, or equally accurate sensors of similar size. The temperature sensors shall be fixed permanently in good thermal contact with separate 25 mm diameter discs of approximately 0.1 mm thick copper foil,
32、which are fixed, with an epoxy-resin or similar adhesive, in small grooves in the surfaces of the disc C and the cold plate D. Aluminium foil discs, 0.006 mm thick 2 BSI 25 November 2005and 140 mm in diameter, shall be stuck centrally over sensors T2and T3, the whole of the exposed faces of C and D
33、shall be painted with dull black lacquer to ensure an emissivity approaching unity.NOTE A suitable indicator device or recorder is recommended for recording temperatures.BS 4745:20056.2.7 Automatic temperature control, achieved by means of a temperature-sensitive element (M), incorporated in a contr
34、ol system.6.3 CabinetThe apparatus shall be enclosed in the cabinet as shown in Figure 2. NOTE The cabinet provides a shield against neighbouring sources of radiant heat and controlled ventilation across the face of the apparatus.The extractor fan shall draw air past the apparatus from the standard
35、atmosphere in the room through an adjustable slot at the other end of the cabinet. The fan characteristics shall be such that the air speed past the test specimen is within the range 0.25 m/s to 1 m/s.Dimensions in millimetresKey1 Plan2 SectionFigure 1 Diagram of the apparatus1 2B M E AB2 1TDCT31T20

37、y to be evaluated, as described in 10.1 and 11.2.b) Use the method described in Annex A.c) Use a guarded hot plate apparatus conforming to ISO 8302 to measure the heat flow, with the mean temperature of the standard thermal resistance being between 309 K and 313 K.NOTE The temperature drop should be
38、 measured with an external calibrated thermocouple as opposed to the thermocouples that form part of the togmeter.8 Atmosphere for conditioning and testingThe conditioning and testing atmosphere shall be one of the standard atmospheres for testing textiles defined in ISO 139.9 Test specimensAll dime

41、on top of it, taking care not to compress the surface of the test specimen. Shield the edges from the airflow, e.g. by wrapping a strip of woven blanket or masking tape round the apparatus.Switch on the electric heaters and adjust the temperature controller so that T2registers a temperature within t
42、he range 304 K to 308 K. Maintain a steady state of temperature at each of the thermocouple sites T1, T2and T3for a period of not less than 30 min before considering a test to be completed, and ensure that the fluctuations in the various temperature levels do not exceed 0.1 K throughout this period.
43、NOTE For materials of low bulk density (e.g. blankets), the duration of a test from the switching on of the heaters, and including the steady state period, is approximately two hours but, for denser materials, it will be longer (approximately three hours).Record, to the nearest 0.01 K, the temperatu
44、res registered by T1, T2and T3.10.2 Two-plate method: fixed opening procedureUsing a suitable thickness gauge, measure the thickness of the specimen according to BS EN ISO 5084 under a pressure of 6.9 Pa. Set the three thickness gauges on the top plate to this measured thickness. Lay the conditioned
45、 test specimen on the hot plate of the apparatus and place the top plate on top. Shield the edges from the airflow, e.g. by wrapping a strip of woven blanket or masking tape round the apparatus.Switch on the electric heaters and adjust the temperature controller so that T2registers a temperature wit

48、s registered by T1, T2and T3.10.3 Single-plate methodLay the conditioned test specimen on the hot plate (with the edges shielded) but leave its outer face uncovered and place the cold plate underneath the apparatus. Support the cold plate, e.g. by three corks, to allow air circulation and cover with
49、 a circular piece of hardboard or metal sheet to the upper face of which a sheet of aluminium foil has been stuck in order to shield the cold plate from the radiant heat emitted by the apparatus. T3is now used to measure the air temperature.Record, to the nearest 0.01 K, the temperatures registered by T1, T2and T3. Repeat the test without a test specimen (i.e. conduct a bare-plate test).
