Thermal conductivity of irregularly surfaced specimen measured more accurately and reliably by use of heat-transfer adhesive establishing contact between specimen and reference standards. Method useful when specimen made up of fragments of material. Adhesive ensures good thermal contact to pieces not matching others in height. In rough-surfaced or unequally sized specimens, heat-flow pattern becomes distorted, and temperatures at measurement points do not accurately represent those throughout reference standards and specimen. Filling voids with conductive adhesive restores nearly uniform distribution heat flow.
