thermal conductivity apparatus

A thermal conductivity apparatus is a device used to measure how well a material conducts heat. It works by applying a known amount of heat to one side of the sample and measuring how much heat passes through to the other side. The instrument carefully records the temperature difference and heat flow, allowing scientists to determine the material’s ability to conduct heat. This measurement is important in applications like insulation, electronics, and building materials, helping to assess how effectively a material can transfer heat in real-world situations.
