1 Scope
This document describes a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity of ceramic matrix
composites with continuous fibre reinforcement. This method applies to all ceramic matrix composites
with a fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x ≤ 3)
as defined in ENV 13233, submitted to a heat flux along one principal axis of anisotropy.
The experimental conditions are such that the material behaves in an homogeneous manner for each
of its axis of anisotropy and that the heat transfer occurs only by thermal conduction. The method is
applicable to materials which are physically and chemically stable during the measurement.
Contrary to other methods of direct measurement which permit only to determine a value of the
thermal conductivity averaged over an interval of temperature, the method described in this document,
based on an adequate exploitation of the temperature record, allows to determine with a good
accuracy the thermal conductivity at a defined temperature. This is more interesting since the
variation of the thermal conductivity with the temperature is non-linear, which is generally the case for
CMC's.
NOTE It is also possible to calculate the conductivity of CMC's by an indirect method using the following
equation:
λ = a × p × C
b p
where
λ is the thermal conductivity;
a is the thermal diffusivity;
p is the bulk density;
b
C is the specific heat capacity.

4 Significance and use
Methods of measurement of the thermal conductivity (either standardised or not) are in the majority
dedicated to the characterisation of insulating materials with λ values lower than or equal to
-1 -1
1 W.m .K . Indeed, a principal feature of all direct methods of determination of the thermal
conductivity consists in creating a thermal gradient in the test specimen, which explains why such
methods are successful when used with insulating materials.
Ceramic matrix composites however, have values of thermal conductivity at low and moderate
-1 -1 -1 -1
temperatures in the range of 15 W.m .K to 100 W.m .K . These values decrease with increasing
temperature, but still remain relatively high. This behaviour would require the use of very thick test
specimens, in order to achieve a sufficient thermal gradient, a requirement which cannot usually be
met. In this case an indirect method such as measurement of the thermal diffusivity, should be used.

5 Principle
The variation of the thermal conductivity of the CMC's with temperature is generally non linear over
the range of temperature currently considered.

This document describes a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity within an
increment of temperature assuming that the thermal conductivity is linear within this increment. This
increment depends upon the material tested. In the first instance it will be set at a value of 100 °C.
The front face (hot face) of a test specimen is exposed to a uniformly distributed temperature T using

a heating plate. After the system reaches equilibrium, the temperature T of the rear face (cold face) is

measured as well as the heat flow at this face (see Figures 1 and 2). In order to achieve good
conditions of thermal insulation of the lateral
