Thermal Conductivity Tester for Solid Insulation Material

Project Title

Thermal Conductivity Tester for Solid Insulation Material

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Prototype of thermal Conductivity tester for insulation materials using steady state method for heat measuring technique.

Project Objectives

Study of different insulations that are common in market to determine their characteristics.

Design and Development of prototype that can measure thermal conductivity of most common solid insulator available in market.

Project Implementation Method

Thermal conductivity techniques will be used for testing the conductivity of insulation materials (Heat flow meter will be preferred).

Benefits of the Project

Thermal conductivity is the ability of material to conduct heat. Different materials have different thermal conductivity K value. Solids have high value of K then liquids and gases.

Number of insulation materials are used in daily routine which have varying thermal conduction.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The final product will be able to measure the thermal conductivity of insulation material most probably Polysterene for conformation and similarly other insultion materials conductivity will also be tested using same technique.
