Thermal Conductivity of Gases Chart |
This chart gives the thermal conductivity of gases as a function of temperature. Unless otherwise noted, the values refer to a pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar) or to the saturation vapor pressure if that is less than 100 kPa. The notation P = 0 indicates the low pressure limiting value is given. In general, the P = 0 and P = 100 kPa values differ by less than 1%. Units: mW/m K ( milliwatts per meter kelvin).
