wozza Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi All, Quick question to the experts: What is the difference between these blocks? Why are they measured differently? Block 1 - Thermal Value (at 3% moisture) k = 0.24W/m°C https://www.plasmor.co.uk/uploads/files/Brochures & Data Sheets 2017/Product Data Sheets/Building Blocks Data Sheets/Ultra Lightweight Aggregate Blocks/F127_PDS_FIBOLITE_W03_17.pdf Block 2 - Thermal Conductivity (K Value) 0.25 (int) – 0.27 (ext) W/mK https://www.bpindex.co.uk/res/pdfs/b5c123b13c1df9.pdf Block 1 is measured in W/m°C Block 2 is measured in W/mk Whats the difference, which has better performance? Thanks, Wozza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
