Measuring Device with guarded hot pipe for pipe insulations Highlights Guarded Hot Pipe - The Absolut Method for Determining the Thermal Conductivity of Pipe Insulations The use of insulation and building materials with a low thermal conductivity value substantially contributes to protecting the environment. When transferring media (gases or liquids) through pipelines, any thermal energy generated should be prevend from release back into the surroundings. Effective pipe insulation is needed for this. The thermal conductivity (Lambda, λ) is the property conveying a material's ability to conduct heat and is expressed in W/(m·K). The lower the thermal conductivity of a material, the better its insulating properties. NETZSCH TAURUS Instruments GmbH primarily produces devcies for measuring thermal conductivity as well as fire-testing equipment. These include guarded hot plates, HFM (heat-flow meters) and guarded hot pipe instruments for measuring the thermal conductivity of building and insulating materials. Direct measuring method For pipe insulations with low thermal conductivity Pipe specimens with diameters up to 220 mm Customer-specific hot pipes Touchscreen for ease of operation Protected test chambe Method Thermal Conductivity - A Key Parameter for Improved Energy Efficiency The Guarded Hot Pipe method is a precise and reliable technique for determining the thermal conductivity of pipe insulations. It works by simulating real-world conditions under which the insulation would operate. A pipe is heated uniformly by an internal electrical heater, and the pipe is usually made of a material with high thermal conductivity to ensure even heat distribution.
