Abstract
A ring heat source probe has been developed for the rapid determination of thermal conductivity of rocks. In addition to the short period of time required to run the test (2–3 min), sample preparation is minimal, requiring only that parallel flats approximately two cm in diameter be cut or ground on opposite sides of the sample. A calibration chart can be provided with each probe so that thermal conductivity can be obtained from simple experimental data without elaborate calculation.Keywords
