3、 test method for measurement ofthermal impedance and calculation of an apparent thermalconductivity for thermally conductive electrical insulationmaterials ranging from liquid compounds to hard solid mate-rials.1.2 The term“thermal conductivity”applies only to homo-geneous materials.Thermally conduc
4、tive electrical insulatingmaterials are usually heterogeneous and to avoid confusion thistest method uses“apparent thermal conductivity”for determin-ing thermal transmission properties of both homogeneous andheterogeneous materials.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.4
5、This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents
