OBJECTIVE
The objective of the test program was to determine the thermal conductivity of various PEX tubing materials. For completeness and comparison purposes, PERT was also tested.
Samples were submitted of PE-RT and PEX. The PEX samples included specimens representing all three common manufacturing methods and two colors of PEX. The samples were flattened into disk form to accommodate the testing equipment.
