Latex rubber
Latex rubber
(OP)
Hi,
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
I need to find out the heat transfer properties of latex rubber, the rubber is 2.0mm thick.
We will be having water at 80°c under the rubber and need to know what the temperature will be on the other side.
Thanks
Steve

RE: Latex rubber
Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook (7th Edition) lists thermal conductivities for building and insulating materials in Table 2-373. For hard to soft rubber they give a range of 0.075 to 0.109 Btu/[(hr.ft^2)(°F/ft)].
Good luck,
