To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
An experimental procedure for the determination of temperature dependence on thermal conductivity of foam insulations blown with condensable gases is presented. The procedure is used to investigate the effect of blowing agent on thermal conductivity of a polyurethane system blown with CFC-11 or HCFC-123, at various stages of its aging. A method to calculate the partial pressure of the blowing agent in the cell gas mixture of the test specimens, from the data on thermal conductivity, is also presented.
