Abstract:
This adjunct describes the line-heat-source
guarded-hot-plate apparatus fabricated by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology. It is intended
as a guide in the design and construction of a guarded
hot plate having circular line heat sources. The
essential requirements for steady-state testing of heat
insulators are described in ASTM Test Method C 177 and
the essential requirements for the design of guarded hot
plates having circular line-heat-sources are covered in
ASTM Practice C 1043.
