Thermal Conductivity Of Ceramic Floor Tiles

Thermal conductivity measurement was conducted according to iso 8301 1991.
Thermal conductivity of ceramic floor tiles. On the other hand the thermal conductivity of ceramic tiles ranges from 0 6 to 1 7 wm 1 k 1 and correlates more with density porosity and less with moisture content 7. Due to the. In all the samples the experimental values of thermal conductivity are always lower than the theoretical ones and are coherent with the value of thermal conductivity reported in the standard uni en iso 10456 for ceramic tiles with density of 2 3 g cm 3 1 3 w m k. Where l is the thermal conductivity of a porous ceramic body l o is the thermal conductivity of a porous free ceramic body p is the volume fraction of porous and n is a constant.
Thermal conductivity values plotted in fig. Both ceramic and porcelain tiled floors have a high level of thermal conductivity which means when used with an underfloor heating system they heat up faster and retain this heat for longer. The theoretical values determined on the basis of total porosity by astm c329. For this test considering the homogeneous sample it is possible to determine the thermal conductivity through the equation 1 where λ is the conductivity w m k.
This ceramic tile for being clearer it can be dazzling under direct insulation.
