- Abstract
- A recent comparison of apparent thermal conductivities, measured at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Jim Walter Research Corp. (JWRC), Tennessee Technological University (TTU), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been discussed in an ORNL Report. The four laboratories used equipment built and operated in accordance with ASTM C 518, and used different calibration materials and procedures.
