Thermophysics Working Group within GEFTA

The Thermophysics Working Group is a scientific organisation established to research measurements on thermophysical properties.

The Working Group sees itself as a forum for expert discussions, exchange of views, critical comparisons of measurement techniques, the organisation and performance of intercomparison measurements, agreements on co-operation and joint projects, and the certification of reference materials.
In addition to discussing fundamental questions in the field of thermophysics, considering practice relevance is of great importance. The main focuses are on the properties thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and radiation properties (emissivity).

The Thermophysics Working Group is affiliated to the German Society for Thermal Analysis (GEFTA).
