Thermal Conductivity Of Ceramic Floor Tiles
Sugawara and yoshizawa 1962 measured the thermal conductivity of a ceramic tile at 70 c.
Thermal conductivity of ceramic floor tiles. Thermal conductivity of ceramic and porcelain underfloor heating takes the natural cold out of tiled floors leading to a cozier more comfortable room. 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. 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. Thermal conductivity values plotted in fig.
Floor tile materials studied in this work presented a wide range of thermal conductivities framed by the low thermal conductivity of vinyl below 0 20 w m 1 k 1 and the upper limit of granite 4 w m 1 k 1. 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. This ceramic tile for being clearer it can be dazzling under direct insulation. Due to the.
Thermal conductivity measurement was conducted according to iso 8301 1991.
