Abstract
A cyclic heat meter apparatus has been developed for measuring thermal diffusivities or thermal conductivity and diffusivity of flat slab specimens. The specimens may be moist or dry. The assumption that a moist soil may be considered a normal heat conducting solid has been validated for a moist clay. The reproducibility of the apparatus is about 3 per cent.
