The thermal conductivity of selected tropical timber species using hot box method
Raihana Mohamad Hata1, Rohana Hassan2, Haslin Idayu3, Fadzil Arshad4.
In this study, thermal conductivity of selected tropical timber species was
determined using hot box method. The test was conducted up until the heat flux,
air temperature and surface temperature value at hot and cold chamber of hot
box become constant. Each of the selected timber species represent hardwood
and softwood as classified in MS 544: Part 2:2011. For this purpose, Chengal
(Neobalanocarpus heimii – Dipteracarpaceae), Perupok (Lophopetalum spp.
Celastraceae) Nyatoh (Sapotaceae) and Pulai (Alstonia spp. Apocynaceae) were
tested. The thermal conductivity test was carried out based on BS EN ISO 8990:1996
standard. The thermal conductivity for Chengal, Perupok, Nyatoh and Pulai under
steady state condition are 5.71 x 10-4, 3.595 x 10-4, 2.973 x 10-4 and 3.469 x 10-4 W/m2K
respectively. Higher thermal conductivity value is significant with high density of
materials.
