Latex rubber

[southcoaststeve]

Hi,

Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

I need to find out the heat transfer properties of latex rubber, the rubber is 2.0mm thick.

We will be having water at 80°c under the rubber and need to know what the temperature will be on the other side.

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook (7th Edition) lists thermal conductivities for building and insulating materials in Table 2-373. For hard to soft rubber they give a range of 0.075 to 0.109 Btu/[(hr.ft^2)(°F/ft)].

Good luck,
Latexman
