OVERVIEW
The ASTM C518-17 test measures thermal transmission through a wide range of specimen properties and environmental conditions. It aims to determine the thermal conductivity of a product.
DESCRIPTION OF TEST
This test was carried out on three (3) 9mm samples to determine the thermal conductivity value of Zenova IR thermal insulation render.
TEST RESULTS
The average thermal conductivity value across the three samples was 0.069 W/mK and shows that Zenova IR thermal insulation render has very low thermal conductivity. By contrast, the thermal conductivity of ordinary cement and sand-based plaster is 0.71 W/mK.
