Abstract

The effect of porosity, reinforcement ratio and specific weight on the thermal conductivity of a series of glass-reinforced plastics has been investigated. It is shown that, if the thickness, the weight characteristic (weight per square meter), and the number of layers of reinforcing fabric are known and the thermal conductivities of the components are constant, then the porosity of the glass-reinforced plastic can be predicted from its thermal conductivity. Data on the relation between the specific weight and the thermal conductivity of the glass-reinforced plastics investigated are presented.
