K-Value Program

The K-Value Program is used to determine the thermal conductivity of a material, which indicates how well it conducts heat. By measuring the temperature difference across a sample and the heat flow through it, the program calculates the K-value. This value helps engineers assess material performance in insulation, construction, and manufacturing. Essentially, it’s a tool that quantifies a material’s ability to transfer heat, enabling optimized material selection and design for energy efficiency and safety.
