Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 22007-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical-

thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is affected by the conditions under which it is measured, such as
temperature and pressure, as well as compositional variation of the material and orientation of the specimen
since some materials are not isotropic.
In steady-state methods, an appropriately sized specimen of simple geometry in contact with a heat source,
together with one or more temperature sensors, which may be combined with the heat source or separate
from it, is allowed to equilibrate at a given temperature. Transient methods may be contact or non-contact. A
thermal transient is produced by a heat pulse to generate a dynamic temperature field within the specimen.
The temperature change with time (temperature response) is measured by one or more sensors which may
be combined with the heat source, placed at a fixed distance from the source or, as in the case of the laser
flash method, located on the other side of the specimen. The response is then analysed in accordance with a
model, and a set of solutions developed for the representative set-up and designed for the specific geometry
and the assumed boundary conditions. Depending upon the geometry of the specimen and source and the
means of generating the temperature field, one or more thermo-physical properties can be obtained, either
separately or simultaneously. Table 1 contains a summary of the characteristics of different types of contact
transient method and the properties that may be determined by their use.
NOTE 1 Most unfilled plastics fall into the category of materials of intermediate thermal conductivity (0,1 W/m·K to
1 W/m·K). They are an order of magnitude more conductive than foams and insulation but about five times less conductive
than ceramics and glass. Their thermal conductivity can increase dramatically if fillers are added. A variety of test methods
may be used, depending on the form and state of the plastic. An overview of these methods is given in Clause 5. Detailed
test methods are contained in other parts of ISO 22007 and in other standards referenced.
NOTE 2 Reference materials are necessary to verify the performance of primary methods and to calibrate secondary
methods. A number of solid materials have been characterized by national standards laboratories, such as NPL, NIST,
® 1)
LNE, NMIJ and PTB, but currently only poly(methyl methacrylate) and Pyrex 7740 glass have a thermal conductivity
which is in the same range as those of most polymer and polymer-filled materials. Polydimethylsiloxane and glycerol are
well characterized fluid reference materials with thermal conductivities in the same range as those of plastics.

Unless the specimen is a liquid, a suitable groove or hole has to be made for the hot wire or line source.

Good thermal contact has to be established between the strip or disc and the specimen.

In contact methods, enough uniaxial pressure should be applied to press the various parts of the specimen
and the heat source together in order to obtain good thermal contact. Heat sink paste can be used to improve
contact, but there should be no heat sink paste outside the heater, or the temperature field can be disturbed.
Furthermore, the use of heat sink pastes can contribute to the uncertainty of the measurement and their effect
must be adequately quantified for accurate results.

5.2 Hot-wire method
This method can be used to determine the thermal conductivity of polymers as a function of temperature. It is
applicable only to isotropic materials, but in any form, e.g. plates, foams, pellets or powders.
NOTE The hot-wire method is mainly used for solid polymers as the temperature-measuring element may be
destroyed when working with molten polymers.
The hot-wire method is a transient method. A wire heater is placed in a test specimen or between two test
specimens of the same material. The temperature is measured either by the wire itself acting as a platinum
resistance temperature detector or by a thermocouple placed in close proximity to the wire. The heater current
is switched on and the temperature rise in the thermocouple is measured as a function of time.
Starting with the Fourier differential equation, it is possible to describe the transient heat flow for an infinitely
long wire as follows:

where
t is the time, in s;
Φ is the rate of heat flow generated by the wire, in W;
r is the distance between the heater and the thermocouple, in m;
L is the length of the wire, in m;
λ is the thermal conductivity, in W/(m⋅K);

α is the thermal diffusivity, in m /s (α = λ/ρC );

where

C = e where γ is Euler’s constant (= 0,577 216).
According to Equation (3), the variation in the temperature, ∆T(r,t), is a linear function of the natural logarithm
of time, and the thermal conductivity of the sample can be determined using the equation:
Φ
λ = (4)
4πLK
where K is the slope of the linear part of the curve of temperature variation plotted against the natural
logarithm of time.

With the correct specimen and heater dimensions as indicated in Table 2, Equation (4) can be used for
practical applications.
[12] [13]
Details of the test method can be found in ISO 8894-1 and ISO 8894-2 .
5.3 Line-source method
[2]
This technique , sometimes called a needle-probe method, is a variant of the hot-wire method. It uses a line-
source probe in the form of a needle, which permits repeated measurements of thermal conductivity to be
made without destruction of the sensor. This transient method is capable of very fast measurements and is
suited to both melt and solid-state thermal-conductivity measurements. It is not suited to the measurement of
directional solid-state properties in anisotropic materials.
A line source is located at the centre of the specimen being tested. Both the line source and specimen are
kept at a constant initial temperature. During the course of the measurement, a known amount of heat is
produced by the line source, resulting in a heat wave propagating radially into the specimen. The governing
equations are the same as those for the hot-wire method. The line source takes the form of a needle-sensor
probe of finite length and diameter. Typical probes are 50 mm to 100 mm long and about 1,5 mm to 2 mm in
diameter and contain a heater element that runs the whole length of the needle. A thermocouple sensor
located within the needle, with its sensing point half-way down the length of the probe, measures the
temperature rise associated with the transient. Deviations from the model, such as the finite probe dimensions,
require the probe to be calibrated against a reference material. A probe constant, C, is introduced into
Equation (4); it is the ratio of the actual thermal conductivity of the reference material to that measured by the
instrument:
CΦ
λ = (5)
4πLK
[3]
NOTE 1 Silicone fluids and glycerol have been used as reference materials . If using glycerol as a reference material,
caution is advised since its properties are sensitive to moisture.
Typical transients show an initial non-linearity due to the heat wave propagating through the finite thermal
capacity of the probe. This is a region of high conductivity and, hence, low slope. With typical melt state
transients, where the specimen has no contact resistance, the transient approaches linearity directly after it
overcomes this effect, typically within a few seconds. The slope of interest is the linear region that follows the
initial non-linearity. Acquisition durations typically range from 30 s to 60 s. This is very important in gathering
melt state thermal-conductivity data because it dramatically reduces the possibility of thermal degradation.
NOTE 2 Scanning methods have been devised which permit the automated acquisition of data at different
temperatures, so that measurements over a wide range of temperatures are possible. With such methods, the same
specimen that was used for the melt state measurements can be used for solid-state measurements, thereby permitting
measurements across the melt-to-solid transition.
[17]
Details of the test method can be found in ASTM D 5930 .
5.4 Transient plane source method
The transient plane source method is capable of solid-state measurements on sheets of materials. It can be
applied to cases where orientation effects exist and can also be extended to thin films.
[4]
The technique uses a thin, plane, electrically insulated resistive element as both the heat source and the
temperature sensor to measure the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity from one transient
recording. This resistive-element sensor is brought into thermal contact with two halves of a specimen of the
material under investigation. Each of the specimen halves must have one flat surface so that the sensor can
be fitted snugly between these surfaces.
By supplying constant electrical power to the sensor, which is of known radius, and by recording the increase
in resistance as a function of time, it is possible to deduce both the thermal conductivity and the thermal
diffusivity from one single transient recording. In order to be able to deduce both these heat transport
properties from a single transient recording, it is important that the probing depth, ∆p — defined as
prob

½
∆p = 2(αt) , where α is the thermal diffusivity of the sample material and t is the total time of the
prob
transient — used for the test be larger than the radius but less than the diameter of the sensor.
The sensor can have different designs and be composed of different materials. A spiral pattern is in common
use. Nickel and molybdenum have been used as sensing materials, with the sensing spiral and its connecting
leads etched or cut out of a thin foil with a thickness of around 10 µm. Other sensing materials can be used,
provided the sensing material has a reasonably large temperature coefficient of resistivity. The reason for this
requirement is that the sensor is used not only for increasing its own temperature and that of the specimen
near it, but also for recording the temperature changes.
To electrically insulate the sensing material, it is possible to use a variety of materials: so far thin sheets of a
® 2)
polymer (Kapton ), a micaceous material and solid sapphire have been used. When selecting insulating
sheets, it is important that these be kept as thin as possible, preferably in the range 25 µm to 100 µm, in order
to guarantee good thermal contact between the sensing material and the flat surfaces of the surrounding
specimen halves.
For analysing the transient recordings, the heat transfer equations have been solved for a number of
concentric, circular line sources embedded in an infinite medium. To fulfil this condition in a test, the size of
the specimen must be such that the distance from any part of the sensor to the nearest outer surface of the
specimen is not less than the probing depth. Sensors with diameters from 1 mm to 60 mm have so far been
used successfully.
[14]
Details of the test method can be found in ISO 22007-2 .
5.5 Temperature wave analysis method

The temperature wave analysis method describes a procedure for determining the thermal diffusivity in
the thickness direction of a thin polymer film as a function of temperature. It can be used for both solid and
molten polymers at a constant temperature or for a temperature scan. Measurements c
