Plastics - Determination of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity - Part 2: Transient plane heat source (hot disc) method (ISO 22007-2:2022)
This document specifies a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity and thermal
diffusivity, and hence the specific heat capacity per unit volume of plastics. The experimental
arrangement can be designed to match different specimen sizes. Measurements can be made in gaseous
and vacuum environments at a range of temperatures and pressures.
This method gives guidelines for testing homogeneous and isotropic materials, as well as anisotropic
materials with a uniaxial structure. The homogeneity of the material extends throughout the specimen
and no thermal barriers (except those next to the probe) are present within a range defined by the
probing depth(s) (see 3.1).
The method is suitable for materials having values of thermal conductivity, λ, in the approximate
range 0,010 W∙m−1∙K−1 < λ < 500 W∙m−1∙K−1, values of thermal diffusivity, α, in the range
5 × 10−8 m2∙s−1 < α < 10−4 m2∙s−1, and for temperatures, T, in the approximate range 50 K < T < 1 000 K.
NOTE 1 The specific heat capacity per unit volume, C, C = ρ ∙ cp, where ρ is the density and cp is the specific heat
per unit mass and at constant pressure, can be obtained by dividing the thermal conductivity, λ, by the thermal
diffusivity, α, i.e. C = λ/α, and is in the approximate range 0,005 MJ∙m−3∙K−1 < C < 5 MJ∙m−3∙K−1. It is also referred to
as the volumetric heat capacity.
NOTE 2 If the intention is to determine the thermal resistance or the apparent thermal conductivity in the
through-thickness direction of an inhomogeneous product (for instance a fabricated panel) or an inhomogeneous
slab of a material, reference is made to ISO 8301, ISO 8302 and ISO 472.
The thermal-transport properties of liquids can also be determined, provided care is taken to minimize
thermal convection.
Kunststoffe - Bestimmung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit und der Temperaturleitfähigkeit - Teil 2: Transientes ebenes Wärmequellenverfahren (Hot‑Disc‑Verfahren) (ISO 22007‑2:2022)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit und Temperaturleitfähigkeit und somit der spezifischen Wärmekapazität je Volumeneinheit von Kunststoffen fest. Die experimentelle Anordnung kann so ausgeführt werden, dass Messungen an Probekörpern verschiedener Größe möglich sind. Die Messungen können in gasförmigen Umgebungen und unter Vakuum bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und verschiedenem Druck durchgeführt werden.
Dieses Verfahren liefert Leitlinien für die Prüfung von homogenen und isotropen Werkstoffen sowie von anisotropen Werkstoffen mit einer einachsigen Struktur. Die Homogenität des Werkstoffs erstreckt sich über den gesamten Probekörper, und innerhalb des durch die Messtiefe(n) (siehe 3.1) festgelegten Bereichs liegen keine Wärmebarrieren vor (außer in der Nähe der Sonde).
Das Verfahren ist für Werkstoffe geeignet, die Wärmeleitfähigkeitswerte λ im annähernden Bereich 0,010 W∙m−1∙K−1 < λ < 500 W∙m−1∙K−1, Temperaturleitfähigkeitswerte α im Bereich 5 × 10−8 m2∙s−1 < α < 10−4 m2∙s−1 aufweisen, sowie für Temperaturen T im annähernden Bereich 50 K < T < 1 000 K.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die spezifische Wärmekapazität je Volumeneinheit C, C = ρ ∙ cp, wobei ρ die Dichte und cp die spezifische Wärme je Masseeinheit und bei konstantem Druck ist, kann erhalten werden, indem die Wärmeleitfähigkeit λ durch die Temperaturleitfähigkeit α dividiert wird, d. h. C = λ/α, und liegt im annähernden Bereich von 0,005 MJ∙m−3∙K−1 < C < 5 MJ∙m−3∙K−1. Diese wird auch als volumetrische Wärmekapazität bezeichnet.
ANMERKUNG 2 Wenn die Absicht besteht, den Wärmewiderstand oder die scheinbare Wärmeleitfähigkeit in Dickenrichtung eines inhomogenen Produktes (zum Beispiel einer gefertigten Tafel) oder einer Platte aus einem inhomogenen Werkstoff zu bestimmen, wird auf ISO 8301, ISO 8302 und ISO 472 hingewiesen.
Die Wärmetransporteigenschaften von Flüssigkeiten können ebenfalls bestimmt werden, vorausgesetzt, dass die Wärmekonvektion auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert wird.
Plastiques - Détermination de la conductivité thermique et de la diffusivité thermique - Partie 2: Méthode de la source plane transitoire (disque chaud) (ISO 22007-2:2022)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la conductivité thermique et la diffusivité thermique, et de ce fait la capacité calorifique spécifique par unité de volume, des plastiques. Le dispositif expérimental peut être conçu pour s’accorder à différentes tailles d’éprouvette. Les mesurages peuvent être effectués dans des environnements gazeux et sous vide sur une plage de températures et de pressions.
Cette méthode donne des lignes directrices pour les essais de solides homogènes, isotropes et anisotropes, ayant une structure uniaxiale. L’homogénéité du matériau s’étend au travers de l’éprouvette et aucune barrière thermique (excepté celle à côté de la sonde) n’est présente dans une plage définie par la(les) profondeur(s) de vérification (voir 3.1).
Cette méthode est appropriée pour les matériaux ayant des valeurs de conductivité thermique, λ, comprises approximativement dans la plage 0,010 W∙m−1∙K−1 < λ < 500 W∙m−1∙K−1, des valeurs de diffusivité thermique, α, comprises dans la plage 5 × 10−8 m2∙s−1 < α < 10−4 m2∙s−1 et des températures, T, comprises approximativement dans la plage 50 K < T < 1 000 K.
NOTE 1 La capacité calorifique spécifique par unité de volume, C (C = ρ ∙ cp, où ρ est la masse volumique et cp est la chaleur massique par unité de masse et à pression constante), peut être obtenue en divisant la conductivité thermique, λ, par la diffusivité thermique, α, c’est-à-dire C = λ/α, et se situe approximativement dans la plage 0,005 MJ∙m−3∙K−1 < C < 5 MJ∙m−3∙K−1. Elle est également appelée chaleur volumique.
NOTE 2 Si l’objectif est de déterminer la résistance thermique ou la conductivité thermique apparente dans la direction de l’épaisseur d’un produit non homogène (par exemple un panneau fabriqué) ou d’une plaque non homogène de matière, on se réfère à l’ISO 8301, l’ISO 8302 et l’ISO 472.
Les propriétés de transmission thermique des liquides peuvent être déterminées à condition que des précautions soient prises pour minimiser la convection thermique.
Polimerni materiali - Ugotavljanje toplotne prevodnosti in toplotne razprševalnosti - 2. del: Metoda s tranzientnim ploskovnim toplotnim virom (vroči disk) (ISO 22007-2:2022)
Ta dokument določa metodo za ugotavljanje toplotne prevodnosti in toplotne razprševalnosti ter posledično posebno toplotno kapaciteto polimernih materialov na enoto prostornine. Eksperimentalna ureditev je lahko oblikovana tako, da ustreza različnim velikostim vzorca. Meritve je mogoče opravljati v plinskem in vakuumskem okolju pri različni temperaturi oziroma tlaku. Ta metoda podaja smernice za preskušanje homogenih in izotropnih materialov ter anizotropnih materialov z enoosno strukturo. Homogenost materiala se razteza po celotnem vzorcu in ni prisotnih toplotnih pregrad (razen poleg sonde) v območju, opredeljenem z globino sondiranja (glej 3.1). Metoda je primerna za materiale z vrednostmi toplotne prevodnosti (λ) v približnem območju 0,010 W∙m−1∙K−1 < λ < 500 W∙m−1∙K−1, vrednostmi toplotne razprševalnosti (α) v območju 5 × 10−8 m2∙s−1 < α < 10−4 m2∙s−1 in temperatur (T) v približnem območju 50 K < T < 1000 K. OPOMBA 1: Specifična toplotna kapaciteta na enoto prostornine (C) C = ρ ∙ cp, pri čemer je ρ gostota in cp specifična toplota na enoto mase pri konstantnem tlaku, je mogoče pridobiti z deljenjem toplotne prevodnosti (λ) s toplotno razprševalnostjo (α), torej C = λ/α, in je v približnem obsegu 0,005 MJ∙m−3∙K−1 < C < 5 MJ∙m−3∙K−1. Za to se uporablja tudi izraz prostorninska toplotna kapaciteta. OPOMBA 2: Če je namen ugotavljanje toplotne upornosti ali dejanske toplotne prevodnosti nehomogenega izdelka v smeri skozi debelino (na primer izdelane plošče) ali nehomogene plošče iz enega materiala, je treba upoštevati standarde ISO 8301, ISO 8302 in ISO 472. Ugotoviti je mogoče tudi lastnosti toplotnega prenosa za tekočine, vendar je treba posebej paziti na zmanjšanje toplotne konvekcije.

Introduction
A significant increase in the development and application of new and improved materials for broad
ranges of physical, chemical, biological, and medical applications has necessitated better performance
data from methods of measurement of thermal-transport properties. The introduction of alternative
methods that are relatively simple, fast, and of good precision would be of great benefit to the scientific
[1]
and engineering communities .
A number of measurement techniques described as transient methods have been developed of which
several have been commercialized. These are being widely used and are suitable for testing many
types of materials. In some cases, they can be used to measure several properties separately or
[2],[3]
simultaneously .
A further advantage of some of these methods is that it has become possible to measure the true
bulk properties of a material. This feature stems from the possibility of eliminating the influence of
the thermal contact resistance (see 8.1.1) that is present at the interface between the probe and the
[1],[3],[4],[5],[6]
specimen surfaces .

Plastics — Determination of thermal conductivity and

Part 2:
Transient plane heat source (hot disc) method
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity and thermal
diffusivity, and hence the specific heat capacity per unit volume of plastics. The experimental
arrangement can be designed to match different specimen sizes. Measurements can be made in gaseous
and vacuum environments at a range of temperatures and pressures.
This method gives guidelines for testing homogeneous and isotropic materials, as well as anisotropic
materials with a uniaxial structure. The homogeneity of the material extends throughout the specimen
and no thermal barriers (except those next to the probe) are present within a range defined by the
probing depth(s) (see 3.1).
The method is suitable for materials having values of thermal conductivity, λ, in the approximate
−1 −1 −1 −1
range 0,010 W∙m ∙K < λ < 500 W∙m ∙K , values of thermal diffusivity, α, in the range
−8 2 −1 −4 2 −1
5 × 10 m ∙s < α < 10 m ∙s , and for temperatures, T, in the approximate range 50 K < T < 1 000 K.
NOTE 1 The specific heat capacity per unit volume, C, C = ρ ∙ c , where ρ is the density and c is the specific heat
p p
per unit mass and at constant pressure, can be obtained by dividing the thermal conductivity, λ, by the thermal
−3 −1 −3 −1
diffusivity, α, i.e. C = λ/α, and is in the approximate range 0,005 MJ∙m ∙K < C < 5 MJ∙m ∙K . It is also referred to
as the volumetric heat capacity.
NOTE 2 If the intention is to determine the thermal resistance or the apparent thermal conductivity in the
through-thickness direction of an inhomogeneous product (for instance a fabricated panel) or an inhomogeneous
slab of a material, reference is made to ISO 8301, ISO 8302 and ISO 472.
The thermal-transport properties of liquids can also be determined, provided care is taken to minimize
thermal convection.

4 Principle
A specimen containing an embedded hot disc probe of negligible heat capacity shall be equilibrated at a
given temperature. A heat pulse in the form of a stepwise function is produced by an electrical current
through the probe to generate a dynamic temperature field within the specimen. The increase in the
temperature of the probe is measured as a function of time. The probe operates as a temperature sensor

unified with a heat source (i.e. a self-heated sensor). The response is then analysed in accordance with
the model developed for the specific probe and the assumed boundary conditions.

5.2 A typical hot disc probe is shown in Figure 2. Convenient probes can be designed with diameters
from 2 mm to 200 mm, depending on the specimen size and the thermal-transport properties
of the material to be tested. The probe is constructed as a bifilar spiral etched out of a (10 ± 2) µm
thick metal foil and covered on both sides by thin (from 7 µm to 100 µm) insulating film. Nickel or
molybdenum should be used as the heater/temperature-sensing metal foil due to their relatively high
temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity and stability over a wide temperature range. Polyimide,
mica, aluminium nitride, or aluminium oxide should be used as the insulating film, depending on the
ultimate temperature of use. The arms of the bifilar spiral forming an essentially circular probe shall
have a width of (0,20 ± 0,03) mm for probes with an overall diameter of 15 mm or less and a width of
(0,35 ± 0,05) mm for probes of larger diameter. The distance between the edges of the arms shall be the
same as the width of the arms.

5.3 An electrical bridge shall be used to record the transient increase in resistance of the probe.
Through the bridge, which is initially balanced, the increase in resistance of the probe shall be
followed by recording the imbalance of the bridge with a sensitive voltmeter (see Figure 3). With this
arrangement, the probe is placed in series with a resistor which shall be designed in such a way that its
resistance is kept strictly constant throughout the transient. These two components are combined with
a precision potentiometer, the resistance of which shall be about 100 times larger than the sum of the
resistances of the probe and the series resistor. The bridge shall be connected to a power supply which
can supply 20 V and a current of up to 1 A. The digital voltmeter by which the difference voltages are
recorded shall have a resolution corresponding to 6,5 digits at an integration time of 1 power line cycle.

measurement shall be established (see Figure 1). The chamber need only be evacuated when working
with slab specimens (see 6.3).
6 Test specimens
6.1 Bulk specimens
6.1.1 For bulk specimens, the requirement for specimen thickness depends on the thermal properties
of the material from which the specimen is made. The expression for the probing depth contains the
diffusivity, which is not known prior to the measurement. This means that the probing depth shall be
calculated after an initial experiment has been completed. If, with this new information, the probing
depth is found to be outside the limits given in 8.1.3, the test shall be repeated, with an adjusted total
measurement time, until the required conditions are fulfilled.
The shape of the specimen can be cylindrical, square, or rectangular. Machining to a certain shape is
not necessary, as long as a flat surface (see 6.1.4) on each of the two specimen halves faces the sensor
and the requirements regarding sensor size given in 8.1.3 are fulfilled.
6.1.2 The measurement shall be conducted in such a way that the probing depth into the specimen
shall be at least 20 times the characteristic length of the components making up the material or of any
inhomogeneity in the material, such as the average diameter of the particles if the specimen is a powder.

6.1.3 The specimen dimensions shall be chosen to minimize the effect that its outer surfaces will
have on the measurement. The specimen size shall be such that the distance from any part of the bifilar
spiral of the hot disc probe to any part of the outside boundary of the specimen is larger than the overall
mean radius of the bifilar spiral (see 5.2). An increase in this distance beyond the size of the diameter of
the spiral does not improve the accuracy of the results.
6.1.4 Specimen surfaces which are in contact with the sensor shall be plane and smooth. The
specimen halves shall be clamped on to both sides of the hot disc probe.
Heat sink contact paste shall not be used since:
a) it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently thin layer of paste which will actually improve the thermal
contact;
b) the paste obviously increases the heat capacity of the insulating layer and delays the development
of the constant temperature difference between the sensing material and the specimen surface;
c) it is difficult to obtain exactly the same thickness of paste on both sides of the probe and achieve a
strictly symmetrical flow of heat from the heating/sensing material through the insulation into the
two specimen halves.
6.1.5 For liquids, suitable containment vessels with adequate seals are necessary and air bubbles and
evaporation shall be avoided.
Storage and conditioning of the liquid can affect its properties, for example, by absorption of water or
gas. It can be necessary to pre-treat the specimen prior to testing, for example by degassing. However,
pre-treatment procedures shall not be used when they can detrimentally affect the material to be
tested, for example through degradation.
6.1.6 For materials prone to significant dimensional changes whether instigated by measurements
over large temperature ranges, thermal expansion, change of state, phase transition, or other causes,
care shall be taken to ensure that when placing the hot disc probe in contact with the specimen, the
applied load does not affect the properties of the specimen.
With soft materials, the clamping pressure shall not compress the specimen and thus change its
thermal-transport properties.
6.1.7 The specimen shall be conditioned in accordance with the standard specification which applies
to the type of material and its particular use.
6.2 Anisotropic bulk specimens
6.2.1 If a material is anisotropic, specimens shall be cut (or otherwise prepared) so that the probe can
be oriented in the main directions

Introduction
A significant increase in the development and application of new and improved materials for broad
ranges of physical, chemical, biological, and medical applications has necessitated better performance
data from methods of measurement of thermal-transport properties. The introduction of alternative
methods that are relatively simple, fast, and of good precision would be of great benefit to the scientific
[1]
and engineering communities.
A number of measurement techniques described as transient methods have been developed and
several have been commercialized. These are being widely used and are suitable for testing many
types of materials. In some cases, they can be used to measure several properties separately or
[2],[3]
simultaneously.
A further advantage of some of these methods is that it has become possible to measure the true
bulk properties of a material. This feature stems from the possibility of eliminating the influence of
the thermal contact resistance (see 8.1.1) that is present at the interface between the probe and the
[1],[3],[4],[5],[6]
specimen surfaces.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 22007-2:2021(E)
Plastics — Determination of thermal conductivity and
thermal diffusivity —
Part 2:
Transient plane heat source (hot disc) method
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity and thermal
diffusivity, and hence the specific heat capacity per unit volume of plastics. The experimental
arrangement can be designed to match different specimen sizes. Measurements can be made in gaseous
and vacuum environments at a range of temperatures and pressures.
This method is suitable for testing homogeneous and isotropic materials, as well as anisotropic
materials with a uniaxial structure. The homogeneity of the material extends throughout the specimen
and no thermal barriers (except those next to the probe) are present within a range defined by the
probing depth(s) (see 3.2 below).
The method is suitable for materials having values of thermal conductivity, λ, in the approximate
−1 −1 −1 −1
range 0,010 W∙m ∙K < λ < 500 W∙m ∙K , values of thermal diffusivity, α, in the range
−8 2 −1 −4 2 −1
5 × 10 m ∙s < α < 10 m ∙s , and for temperatures, T, in the approximate range 50 K < T < 1 000 K.
NOTE 1 The specific heat capacity per unit volume, C, C = p ∙ c , where p is the density and c is the specific heat
p p
per unit mass and at constant pressure, can be obtained by dividing the thermal conductivity, λ, by the thermal
−3 −1 −3 −1
diffusivity, α, i.e. C = λ/α, and is in the approximate range 0,005 MJ∙m ∙K < C < 5 MJ∙m ∙K . It is also referred to
as the volumetric heat capacity.
NOTE 2 If the intention is to determine the thermal resistance or the apparent thermal conductivity in the
through-thickness direction of an inhomogeneous product (for instance a fabricated panel) or an inhomogeneous
slab of a material, reference is made to ISO 8301, ISO 8302 and ISO 472.
The thermal-transport properties of liquids can also be determined, provided care is taken to minimize
thermal convection.

4 Principle
A specimen containing an embedded hot disc probe of negligible heat capacity is allowed to equilibrate
at a given temperature. A heat pulse in the form of a stepwise function is produced by an electrical
current through the probe to generate a dynamic temperature field within the specimen. The increase
in the temperature of the probe is measured as a function of time. The probe operates as a temperature
sensor unified with a heat source (i.e. a self-heated sensor). The response is then analysed in accordance
with the model developed for the specific probe and the assumed boundary conditions.

5.2 A typical hot disc probe is shown in Figure 2. Convenient probes can be designed with diameters
from 2 mm to 200 mm, depending on the specimen size and the thermal-transport properties of the
material to be tested. The probe is constructed as a bifilar spiral etched out of a (10 ± 2) µm thick metal
foil and covered on both sides by thin (from 7 µm to 100 µm) insulating film. It is recommended that
nickel or molybdenum be used as the heater/temperature-sensing metal foil due to their relatively
high temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity and stability over a wide temperature range. It is
recommended that polyimide, mica, aluminium nitride, or aluminium oxide be used as the insulating
film, depending on the ultimate temperature of use. The arms of the bifilar spiral forming an essentially
circular probe shall have a width of (0,20 ± 0,03) mm for probes with an overall diameter of 15 mm or

5.3 An electrical bridge shall be used to record the transient increase in resistance of the probe.
Through the bridge, which is initially balanced, the increase in resistance of the probe shall be followed
by recording the imbalance of the bridge with a sensitive voltmeter (see Figure 3). With this arrangement,
the probe is placed in series with a resistor which shall be designed in such a way that its resistance
is kept strictly constant throughout the transient. These 2 components are combined with a precision
potentiometer, the resistance of which shall be about 100 times larger than the sum of the resistances of
the probe and the series resistor. The bridge shall be connected to a power supply which can supply 20 V
and a current of up to 1 A. The digital voltmeter by which the difference voltages are recorded shall have
a resolution corresponding to 6,5 digits at an integration time of 1 power line cycle. The resistance of the

5.4 A constant-temperature environment controlled to ±0,1 K or better for the duration of a
measurement shall be established (see Figure 1). The chamber need only be evacuated when working
with slab specimens (see 6.3).
6 Test specimens
6.1 Bulk specimens
6.1.1 For bulk specimens, the requirement for specimen thickness depends on the thermal properties
of the material from which the specimen is made. The expression for the probing depth contains the
diffusivity, which is not known prior to the measurement. This means that the probing depth has to be
calculated after an initial experiment has been completed. If, with this new information, the probing
depth is found to be outside the limits given in 8.1.3, the test shall be repeated, with an adjusted total
measurement time, until the required conditions are fulfilled.
The shape of the specimen can be cylindrical, square, or rectangular. Machining to a certain shape is
not necessary, as long as a flat surface (see 6.1.4) on each of the 2 specimen halves faces the sensor and
the requirements regarding sensor size given in 8.1.3 are fulfilled.
6.1.2 The measurement shall be conducted in such a way that the probing depth into the specimen
shall be at least 20 times the characteristic length of the components making up the material or of any
inhomogeneity in the material, e.g. the average diameter of the particles if the specimen is a powder.

6.1.3 The specimen dimensions shall be chosen to minimize the effect that its outer surfaces will have
on the measurement. The specimen size shall be such that the distance from any part of the bifilar spiral
of the hot disc probe to any part of the outside boundary of the specimen is larger than the overall mean
radius of the bifilar spiral (see 5.2). An increase in this distance beyond the size of the diameter of the
spiral does not improve the accuracy of the results.
6.1.4 Specimen surfaces which are in contact with the sensor shall be plane and smooth. The specimen
halves shall be clamped on to both sides of the hot disc probe.
NOTE Heat sink contact paste should not be used since
a) it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently thin layer of paste which will actually improve the thermal contact,
b) the paste obviously increases the heat capacity of the insulating layer and delays the development of the
constant temperature difference between the sensing material and the specimen surface,
c) it is difficult to obtain exactly the same thickness of paste on both sides of the probe and achieve a strictly
symmetrical flow of heat from the heating/sensing material through the insulation into the 2 specimen halves.
6.1.5 For liquids, suitable containment vessels with adequate seals are necessary and air bubbles and
evaporation shall be avoided.
Storage and conditioning of the liquid can affect its properties, e.g. by absorption of water or gas. It
might be necessary to pre-treat the specimen prior to testing, e.g. by degassing. However, pre-treatment
procedures shall not be used whenever they could detrimentally affect the material to be tested, e.g.
through degradation.
6.1.6 For materials prone to significant dimensional changes whether instigated by measurements
over large temperature ranges, thermal expansion, change of state, phase transition, or other causes,
care shall be taken to ensure that when placing the hot disc probe in contact with the specimen, the
applied load does not affect the properties of the specimen.
With soft materials, the clamping pressure shall not compress the specimen and thus change its
thermal-transport properties.
6.1.7 The specimen shall be conditioned in accordance with the standard specification which applies
to the type of material and its particular use.
6.2 Anisotropic bulk specimens
6.2.1 If a material is anisotropic, specimens shall be cut (or otherwise prepared) so that the probe can
be oriented in the main directions (e.g. the fibre directions in reinforced plastics, the main directions in
[4],[8]
layered structures or the principal axes in crystals). The hot disc method is limited to materials in
which the thermal properties along 2 of the orthogonal and principal axes are the same, but are different
from those along the third axis.
6.2.2 The size of anisotropic specimens shall be chosen so that the requirements of 8.1.3 are fulfilled
along the principal axes.
6.3 Slab specimens
The so-called slab method is used with sheet-formed specimens extending in 2 dimensions, but with
[9]
a limited and well-defined thickness in a range from 1 mm to 10 mm. The slab specimen thickness
shall be known to an accuracy of 0,01 mm. When 2 equally thick slabs of a material are clamped around
a probe and thermally insulated on the outer sides, it is possible to measure the thermal conductivity
and diffusivity of such specimens. The condition related to the probing depth (see 3.2) has to be fulfilled
in the plane of the probe but not in the through-thickness direction. This method is particularly suited
−1 −1
to studies of materials having thermal conductivities higher than 10 W⋅m ⋅K but can also be used for

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 22007-2:2021
ISO/DIS 22007-2:2021(E)
−1 −1
materials with thermal conductivities as low as 1 W⋅m ⋅K , provided good thermal insulation of the
slabs can be arranged (for instance by performing the measurements in a vacuum).
6.4 Thin-film specimens
The so-called thin-film method is used with specimens such as paper, textiles, polymer films or
deposited thin-film layers (such as ceramic coatings) with thicknesses ranging from 0,05 mm to about
[10]
5,0 mm. The thickness of thin-film specimens (placed on both sides of the probe) shall be known to
an accuracy of ±1 µm.
NOTE 1 When making a measurement on a material with a high thermal conductivity, the temperature
undergoes a rapid increase at the very beginning of the transient followed by a much more gradual increase. The
insulating layer, between which the sensing spiral is sandwiched, causes this rapid increase. It has been shown
both experimentally and in computer simulations that the temperature difference across the insulating layer
becomes constant within a very short time and remains constant throughout the measurement. The reason is
that the total power output, the area of the sensing material and the thickness of the insulating layer are constant
in the test.
If thin films of a material are placed between the probe and a high-conductivity background material
(in the form of an “infinite” solid), it is possible to measure the apparent thermal conductivity of the
film material, provided that the apparent thermal conductivity of the insulating layer with which the
[10]
probe is covered has been determined in a separate experiment.
NOTE 2 It can be necessary to make measurements on films of different thicknesses and the same properties
or with different clamping pressures to eliminate mathematically the influence of thermal contact resistances.
The thermal conductivity of the background material shall be approximately 10 times greater than that
of the thin-film material.
In order to better simulate a plane heat source when testing thin films, a probe similar to the one
depicted in Figure 2 shall be used. However, the circular strips should preferably have a width of 0,8 mm
and the openings between the strips should only be 0,2 mm. When using a probe with thermal insulation
