Thermal Conductivity Test

The "Thermal Conductivity Test" determines the insulation value that a product has, for example an R-Value. In this case, "Unity" Surfacing Systems products have the ability to provide you with an insulation value of 2.4 when tested via ASTM C518-98. This insulation rating will save you money on wasted energy costs that can be expensive over time. When considering a rubberized safety surfacing, flooring and paver product choose one has an R-Value that will save you money over time, and not one without that may cost you money. Below are the actual test results:

Time	T Hot (F)	T Cold (F)	Avg. Hot/Cold Face Temp.	Thickness	Thermal Conductivity Btu-in/hr-ft-F	Thermal Resistance Hr-ft-F/Btu
8:00	96.77	50.77	73.77	2.287	0.943	2.4
8:15	96.75	50.76	73.76	2.287	0.942	2.4
8:30	96.77	50.76	73.77	2.287	0.942	2.4
8:45	96.78	50.68	73.73	2.286	0.939	2.4

Thermal Conductivity Results for an "R" Value:

T- Hot (F)	T Cold (F)	Avg. Hot/Cold Face Temp.	Thickness	Thermal Conductivity Btu-in/hr-ft-F	Thermal Resistance Hr-ft-F/Btu
96.78	50.68	73.73	2.286	0.939	2.4

The following sample was submitted by "Unity", as: 2 1/4" thick "Play-Land" material. The submitted sample was evaluated for Thermal Conductivity in accordance with the procedures outlined in ASTM C518-98.
