How do I find HT properties of Indiana Limestone? 1

[srkangas]

I need to know what the thermal properties of Indiana Limestone are.. Conductivity, Specific Heat, and maybe density. I also wonder if there is any way to get thermal resistance between limestone and brick besides testing??
I have been searching but to no avail.
thanks

The last sentence was supposed to read "contact resistance between limestone and brick"
sorry

Nothing useful from the Indiana Limestone Institute?

Their website's not much, but you'd think they would be in the best position to know...

Sorry, link got mangled:

Thanks- I had checked the website out and did not find any HT values there... I sent an email to someone there so I hope they can tell me

The only other one that came to mind was Schlumberger Oilfield Services, but I'd think that their materials database is proprietary and there was very little on their website. SLB use earth electrical resistance measurements to explore for oil.

I just got this soliciation in my e-mail. sounds like it might have what you are looking for.

Purdue Research Foundation recently licensed CINDAS LLC to disseminate materials properties technical data that was generated through research and testing over the past 20 years. This data has been published in two new electronic databases that are significant additions to any technical library.

THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS DATABASE (TPMD):
The TPMD covers thermophysical properties such as thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal radiative properties like total emittance, spectral reflectance, spectral transmittance, and spectral and solar absorbance. This is the most comprehensive database of its type available. There are over 5,000 materials and over 50,000 data curves in the TPMD. The materials covered include: elemental metals, ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, single, binary, ternary oxides and mixtures of oxides; non-oxide compounds, minerals, polymers, composites, and animal and vegetable natural substances.

MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING MATERIALS DATABASE (MPMD):
The MPMD contains data and information on thermal, mechanical, electrical, and physical properties of electronics packaging materials. The MPMD was initially developed through both basic and applied research, using both experimental techniques and literature searches by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis
(CINDAS) at Purdue University in conjunction with the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC). There are over 600 materials and over 11000 data curves in the MPMD; and, it is constantly being updated and expanded with the latest materials developments.

Both the MPMD and the TPMD incorporate a newly developed data management and analysis system that allows the user to not only readily search for and access the data, but also
to compare a property of several materials on the same
graph. All datasets contain the composition of the material, the experimental conditions, the raw and smoothed data, references and dynamic graphic display. A unit conversion feature is incorporated in the system and the data can be easily exported into modeling programs. The features and capabilities of the system are too lengthy to describe in a letter. Please try the demo for each of the databases and get additional information by going to our website:

The MPMD and TPMD are available in electronic format in a web-based version or on a CD-ROM that can be either networked or used on an individual PC. Downloadable order forms and pricing information are available on our website. You can also contact us directly by E-mail or by phone:
