The thermal conductivity of a material is a critical aspect affecting its energy efficiency, structural integrity, and durability. For instance, moisture accumulation within building materials can significantly reduce their thermal performance, leading to compromised insulation and increased energy consumption.
Thermal conductivity probes non-destructively measure the moisture content of materials, enabling timely and effective interventions to prevent material degradation. These probes are designed to minimize disturbance to the material's structure, making them suitable for usage in delicate or sensitive environments.
