FAQ

What is the Thermal Conductivity?
Thermal Conductivity is the rate of heat flow through a material, expressed as the amount of heat flow per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance. Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K for Thermal Conductivity. Note that the value of Thermal Conductivity is always positive.
Can the Thermal Conductivity be negative?
No, the Thermal Conductivity, measured in Thermal Conductivity cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Thermal Conductivity?
Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K[W/(m*K)] for Thermal Conductivity. Kilowatt per Meter per K[W/(m*K)], Calorie (IT) per Second per Centimeter per °C[W/(m*K)], Kilocalorie (th) per Hour per Meter per °C[W/(m*K)] are the few other units in which Thermal Conductivity can be measured.
