Thermal Properties of Pyroceram Code 9606

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel R. Flynn, James H. Yen, James J. Filliben, Robert R. Zarr, E M. Hohlfeld
In the late 1950s, Corning Glass Works measured the heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal expansion of Pyroceram Code 9606. In the early 1960s the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) measured the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity of

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 1450e Fibrous Glass Board

April 17, 2020
Author(s)
Robert R. Zarr, Nathanael A. Heckert
Thermal conductivity measurements at and near room temperature are presented as the basis for certified values of thermal conductivity for SRM 1450e, Fibrous Glass Board. The meas-urements have been conducted in accordance with a randomized full factorial

SUPPLEMENTARY COMPARISON CCT Supplementary comparison S2 on thermal conductivity measurements of insulating materials by guarded hot plate

January 1, 2020
Author(s)
Bruno Hay, Robert R. Zarr, Clark Stacey, Nikolay Sokolov, Leonel Lira Cortes, Ulf Hammerschmidt, Jintao Zhang, Jean Remy Filtz, Fleurence N.
Seven National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) from France, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Mexico, China and Germany participated in an inter-laboratory comparison on thermal conductivity measurements by the Guarded Hot Plate method. This action was

Historical Review of the Metered Section Area for Guarded Hot Plates

December 31, 2019
Author(s)
Robert R. Zarr, Stacy M. Bruss, David McElroy
Results of an extensive literature review and investigation of the metered section area for the guarded-hot-plate method, standardized as ASTM C177, Standard Test Method for Steady-State Heat Flux Measurements and Thermal Transmission Properties by Means

Sensitivity Analysis Affecting the Calibration of Heat-Flow-Meter Apparatus

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Robert R. Zarr, Sergio A. Carvajal, James J. Filliben
Results and analysis of a sensitivity study of four procedural variables on the calibration response of two commercial heat-flow-meter apparatus in compliance with ASTM Test Method C 518 are presented. The apparatus ranged in plate size from 305 mm by 305

Comparison of Models for Heat Transfer in High-Density Fibrous Insulation

May 13, 2019
Author(s)
Sergio A. Carvajal, Edward Garboczi, Robert R. Zarr
This paper evaluates different models for calculating the effective thermal conductivity of fibrous insulation by comparing predicted values with certified values of Standard Reference Material 1450c, Fibrous Glass Board. The fiber diameter distribution

Bilateral NMI Comparison of Guarded-Hot-Plate Apparatus

April 27, 2014
Author(s)
Alain Koenen, Robert R. Zarr, William F. Guthrie
Two national metrology laboratories (NMI) have conducted an international interlaboratory comparison on thermal conductivity on two thermal insulation reference materials. The Laboratoire national de métrologie et d'Essais (LNE) from France and the
