Abstract
Concerning thermal conductivity measurement of solids, there are many sorts of methods like Guarded hot plate method, Laser flash method, and so on. And using these methods, one can perform reliable and high-precision measurement. However, depending on the methods, fairly high cost and/or skill are required to obtain satisfactory results, In the present study, for the purpose of developing a simple thermal conductivity measuring method for thin metal plate, a steady-state method in accordance with the Fourier's law of heat conduction has been proposed. Furthermore, the apparatus constant has been evaluated based on the measured results using copper C1100, aluminum alloy A1050 and A5052 with known thermal conductivity.
