Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This Portable Electronic Divided Bar measures the thermal conductivity of cylindrical rock samples.

The sample is the dark disc in between the two brass plates. Thermocouples (stripy wires) are glued into the brass plates (cannot see, behind sample) and are plugged into the picologger on the left.

Heating of the top brass plate and cooling of the bottom brass plate are controlled by a fluid (greenish pipes behind sample). Thermal conductivities (W/mK) are are used in geothermal exploration to build heat flow models.
