Abstract: The thermal-probe technique has been assessed for use with moist materials. Initial investigations with wet clay specimens showed that the probe diameter had no signoficant effect on the indicated values of the apparent thermal conductivity. Tests to measure the apparent thermal conductivities of aerated concrete blocks, at various moisture contents and distributions, gave results that compared well with other published data.
