Figure 3From: Thermal conductivities, thermal diffusivities, and volumetric heat capacities of core samples obtained from the Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST)Hot disk transient plane heat source probe and sample assembly. Drawings (A and C) and photos (B and D) of the hot disk probe with a bifilar spiral element, representing both the plane heat source and temperature sensor and sample assembly used for thermal property measurements at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure conditions. A 500-g weight was applied on the top of the assembly to attain good contact between the core samples and the probe (D).Back to article page
