Thermal Conductivity of some common Materials and Gases

Thermal conductivity of some common materials and gases - insulation, aluminum, asphalt, brass, copper, steel and many more ..
Sponsored Links Thermal conductivity is the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness in a direction normal to a surface of unit area, due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions. Thermal conductivity of some common materials and products are indicated in the table below.
