BS ISO 12987:2004

This standard BS ISO 12987:2004 Carbonaceous materials for the production of aluminium. Anodes, cathodes blocks, sidewall blocks and baked ramming pastes. Determination of the thermal conductivity using a comparative method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.100.10 Materials for aluminium production

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of thermal conductivity of carbonaceous material in the temperature range of 20 °C to 60 °C. The typical range of thermal conductivity for these materials is 2 W/(K·m) to 100 W/(K·m).

This method can be used for other carbon materials, such as graphitized electrodes for other applications.
