Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an international Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or such patent rights.
ISO/TR 22007-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical-
chemical properties.

3 Specimen preparation and characterization
3.1 Specimens
Two types of PMMA material were used in the intercomparison:
[6]
• Sumipex 000 (cast grade), Lot. 6621114, supplied by Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd, Japan .
Referred to as "Sumipex cast PMMA" herein. Sheet thickness ≈ 2 mm.
• AAJHF (extruded grade), supplied via NPL, UK. Referred to as "extrusion grade PMMA" herein.
Sheet thickness ≈ 3 mm.
© ISO 2011 – All rights reserved 1

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO/TR 22007-5:2011(E)
The Sumipex cast PMMA was supplied in sheet form only whereas the extrusion grade PMMA was supplied
in both sheet and pellet forms.
3.2 Specimen preparation
Depending on the test method, test specimens needed to be prepared from the sheet samples. For the
temperature wave analysis the specimens were reduced in thickness. For laser flash testing they were
reduced in thickness by one laboratory, but not by the second laboratory. For transient line source testing the
specimens were prepared by cutting small pieces from the sheet for insertion into the barrel of the instrument.
For Hot Disk testing, most of the data reported are for measurements on single sheets, although two sheets
were stacked in some cases to form the test specimen (see Table 1).
4 Measurement apparatus
The experimental apparatus is described in ISO 22007 Parts 1 - 4 and in further detail in references 7 − 17.

5 Measurement procedure
[2 - 4]
The procedures used were as specified in the relevant parts of ISO 22007 for the methods covered by
[7]
that standard. The other methods are specified by ASTM D5930 for the line source probe technique, by
[8]
ASTM E1530 for the guarded heat flow meter method, and as described by [9] for the second heat flux
meter method. Experimental details and variations from these references are reported in the intercomparison
instructions, Annex A, and in the individual laboratory test reports, Annexes B to F.
6 Calculations
All laboratories carried out the necessary analyses of their raw data to determine thermal conductivity, thermal
diffusivity and heat capacity values.
7 Results and conclusions
The test reports of the individual laboratories are presented in Annexes B to F along with tabulated data as
provided or abbreviated as appropriate.
8 Results
The results of the measurements are presented in Figures 1 - 4. In addition, in each of these figures, values of
thermal diffusivity have been calculated from thermal conductivity, or vice-versa, to demonstrate the level of
agreement between the two types of measurement.
The individual results were typically within a range of approximately ± 10 % of the mean value at any given
[18]
temperature for both thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity .
The reasons for the discrepancy in results are not entirely clear from the intercomparison and require further
examination to reduce further the variation in results.
Three particular issues highlighted by the intercomparison that should be covered by good measurement
practice are:
• Need to ensure that the specimens are of the appropriate thickness for the test method, satisfying
any criteria on thickness that the method imposes. This may necessitate machining of the specimen
to an appropriate thickness.
• Effect of anisotropy of the sample. When using the Hot Disk method, testing can yield either
anisotropic properties or bulk properties depending on the specific method used. As properties of
polymers can be anisotropic, normally due to processing induced effects, it may be necessary to take
this into account in testing, depending on the application for the data.
• When calculating thermal diffusivity from thermal conductivity, and vice-versa, it is important to
assess the uncertainties in the specific heat capacity values used as these can contribute significantly
to the overall uncertainty in calculated values. In the testing carried out here the specific heat capacity
values varied by up to approximately ± 10 % from the mean, and density values by ± 1 % from the
mean. This would contribute an uncertainty of approximately 10 % to the calculation of thermal
diffusivity (see Table 2).

9 Uncertainty and repeatability
Estimates of the uncertainties or repeatabilities of the experimentally measured and calculated values are
presented in Table 2. The uncertainty of measurement (coverage factor k = 2) was calculated according to the
[19]
Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement . The expanded uncertainty was calculated when
thermal diffusivity was calculated from thermal conductivity, or vice-versa, by the use of the equation λ = α C ρ
p
according to the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement. In Table 2 the uncertainties are shown
with the k-numbers in parenthesis; values without k-numbers are the repeatabilities.

Instructions sent to interlaboratory comparison participants:
Procedure for thermal conductivity and diffusivity intercomparison
in support of the development of ISO 22007 parts 1-4
A.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If you have any comments or questions concerning this intercomparison (the procedure, sample preparation
etc) please send them to us before 25 February 2007 so that the issue(s) can be discussed BEFORE any
participants prepare specimens or commence testing.
All results and associated documentation to be returned by 14 April 2007 if possible, please. If there are any
problems with this schedule, please contact us as soon as possible.

A.2 INTRODUCTION
A.2.1 Thank you for agreeing to participate in this intercomparison on the measurement of thermal
conductivity and diffusivity of polymers. This is a preliminary intercomparison amongst the project leaders that
will shortly be expanded to a larger intercomparison including other organisations. The purpose of this
preliminary intercomparison is to resolve any major issues that become apparent before involving the larger
number of participants.
A.2.2 In summary, the objectives of this intercomparison are to assess the repeatability, reproducibility and
comparability of the transient and the modulated techniques covered by ISO 22007 Parts 1 - 4 and of other
techniques that may also be incorporated into this series in the future. The intention is that the findings of the
intercomparison will be incorporated into ISO 22007 (or at least Part 1) as part of the precision statements,
and will contribute to the development of all parts of this Standard.
A.2.3 This intercomparison is based on testing of PMMA materials to obtain thermal conductivity and
thermal diffusivity data at a range of temperatures. Information that may be of use on the materials are given
below.
Sumipex cast PMMA: T transition range starts around 100 °C, completed by approx 130 °C (at 10 °C/min);
g
degrades above 220 °C; drying time should be 80 °C for 5 hours. A percentage of water absorption of PMMA
is 0,3 %/24Hr (depending on the relative humidity), and the saturated water absorption is 2 %.
NPL thermoplastic PMMA: extrusion grade PMMA; MFI 1,6 g/10 mins (230 °C/ 3,8 kg); drying conditions
75 °C for 4 hours; Tg transition range by DSC approx 90 °C to 130 °C; typical die process temperatures
220 °C to 240 °C; decompose above 280 °C BUT may degrade at lower temperatures - recommend keep to
below 240 °C.
A.2.4 This document prescribes the procedure to be followed for those measurements.
A.2.5 Tests shall be performed in accordance with the appropriate parts of ISO 22007. The latest versions
of the relevant documents shall be used. Please contact myself if you need a copy.
A.2.6 Where testing using a method not currently covered by ISO 22007, state which Standard/procedure
was used. If an in-house method was used please provide documentation describing the procedure and
equipment.

ISO/TR 22007-5:2011(E)
A.3 THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY / DIFFUSIVITY TEST PLAN
A.3.1 Condition the material using the standard atmosphere (ISO 291) of (23 +/- 1)°C and relative humidity
(50 % +/- 5 %) for at least 4 hours before testing.
A.3.2 The recommended test temperatures:
Cast Sumipex PMMA:
Recommended measurement temperatures are 23 °C, 30 °C (with repeats at this temperature), 60 °C and
90 °C and additional optional temperatures of 140 °C and 180 °C.
Thermoplastic NPL PMMA: (i.e. extrusion grade PMMA):
Recommended measurement temperatures are 30 °C (with repeats at this temperature), 140 °C and 180 °C,
with additional optional temperatures of 23 °C, 60 °C and 80 °C.
PLEASE NOTE IT IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE THAT DATA ARE OBTAINED AT ATLEAST 30 °C FOR BOTH
MATERIALS BY ALL TECHNIQUES
Participants are encouraged to test at other temperatures and, if possible, above the Tg for the thermoplastic
PMMA
A.3.3 At the test temperature of 30 °C repeat the test at least a further 4 times using identical test
conditions. These repeat tests should involve the complete procedure to be a true repeat test including, for
example, re-conditioning the sample, measuring the specimen dimensions and re-loading the sample into the
instrument. Re-testing without going through the whole procedure is not correct practice to determine the true
repeatability of the method.
A.3.4 Where possible, measure the sample density and/or mass before and after testing to assess
moisture uptake during the test.

A.4 ADDITONAL TESTING / DATA REQUIREMENT
A.4.1 Conversion from thermal conductivity values to thermal diffusivity values, and similarly from thermal
diffusivity to thermal conductivity, requires density and specific heat capacity values. All participants should (if
possible) each measure these values and convert their own results (i.e. from thermal conductivity to diffusivity
or vice-versa) using those values. On analysis of all of the participants’ results, further analysis will be carried
out using average values for both density and specific heat capacity. The measurement of these parameters
is a part of the overall measurement of thermal conductivity and/or thermal diffusivity and so is considered a
valid part of this intercomparison. It will enable correct comparison of the thermal conductivity with thermal
diffusivity results.
A.4.2 Measure the density of the material at the same temperature(s).
A.4.3 Measure the specific heat capacity of the material at the same temperature(s).
Note: if resourcing is an issue for any particular laboratory then the emphasis should be on the thermal
conductivity/diffusivity testing.
PLEASE KEEP ALL SPECIMENS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE / USE UNTIL OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED

A.5 REPORTING RESULTS
A.5.1 Provide all information, raw data ~(e.g. plot files) and results as requested in the excel spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet may be used for this purpose. Alternatively, other means of saving the information can be
used (e.g. where information is provided in text or image files direct from the instrument’s software). Where
the information requested is “not applicable” please enter N/A.
A.5.2 Consult ISO 22007-1 and the appropriate Part of ISO 22007 for additional reporting requirements.
A.5.3 Where thermal diffusivity has been measured give values of density and specific heat capacity used
for conversion to thermal conductivity, and vice-versa. Report what methods were used for measurements of
density and specific heat capacity, and provide information on the standards / procedures / techniques /
instruments used. Report both thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity data, but provide clear indication as
to which is/are measured and which is derived.

Laboratory 1 results
B.1 Hot Disk report on the ISO group Round Robin test on two types of PMMA
The two samples were received, heat treated and measured as agreed. In addition to the agreed
measurements, measurements were made of the anisotropic properties as these are very different for the two
materials.

The Hot Disk method measures thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity independently in each
measurement in the basic set up (using two equal samples, one on each side of the sensor). Having these
two values the specific heat per unit volume ρ C can be calculated by dividing the thermal conductivity by the
p
thermal diffusivity. It must be understood that this value of ρ C is only correct for isotropic materials. When the
p
sample is anisotropic, this ratio is simply
½
λ ⋅λα/

where the subscripts indicate the axis directions of the properties (e.g. λ is the thermal conductivity along the
a
a-axis). It is assumed here that the properties along the a- and b-axes (mapping out the plane of the sensor)
are the same but different from those along the c-axis.
By introducing an independently measured ρ C value for an anisotropic sample, it is possible to calculate the
p
thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity for the two directions, normal and parallel to the sensor surface. A
[10]
method for independently measuring the heat capacity has been developed by Gustavsson et al but it is
not a part of the standard ISO 22007-2. This method measures
