What is the thermal conductivity of timber?

Answer 1

What is the conductivity of timber?

Using the metric system of units (SI) -

The thermal conductivity of softwood, (and most 'engineered' softwood products, such as softwood plywood, or OSB) is -

0.13 W/K.m

The typical thermal conductivity of hardwood is -

0.19 W/K.m

Answer 2

Depends on density of chipboard. Thermal conductivity can range between 0.1-0.3W/mk. Take the thickness of chipboard, say 18mm and divide by thermal conductivity so:

thickness (m) / thermal conductivity = thermal resistance;

0.018 / 0.1 = 0.18W/m²K

OR

0.018 / 0.3 = 0.06W/m²K

So 18mm chipboard generally has a resistance between 0.06 - 0.18W/m²K.
