NIST has just completed NIST Standard Reference Database 81 on Heat Transmission Properties of Insulating and Building Materials (Web Version 1.0). The database is a collection of thermal conductivity data produced by NIST from 1932 to 1983 using the NIST 200 mm guarded-hot-plate apparatus. During its service, the apparatus was the U.S. national standard for thermal conductivity measurements of insulating and building materials. The database contains 2175 records of thermal conductivity data for a variety of thermal insulation materials such as cellular plastics, corkboard, glass fiber, among others, as well as building materials such as fiberboard and lightweights ...
