| Abstract: | In this study, thermal conductivity test equipment was designed and fabricated for the determination of thermal conductivity values of non‐metallic materials only. The energy balance equation for the equipment was based on the transient method analysis. Three specimens, cut to uniform area of 0.002m2 were used for the experiment, to validate the performance of the test equipment. These materials were cork, cardboard and asbestos. The following values of thermal conductivity 0.088, 0.20 and 0.122 w/mok were obtained respectively for them. The values were compared to their respective reference values and a correcting factor of 0.02 was obtained. |
