1.1This test method covers the determination of the thermal conductivity of plastics over a temperature range from -40 to 400°C. It is possible to measure the thermal conductivity of materials in the range from 0.08 to 2.0 W/m.K covering thermoplastics, thermosets, and rubbers, filled and reinforced.

1.2The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish proper safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1:There is no known ISO equivalent to this test method.
