Abstract
The measuring apparatus (10) according to the invention includes a hot source (14) and a cold source (18), each provided with a thermocouple (21, 22) and connected via a solid bar (17) of copper that is in contact with the hot source and is spaced apart from the cold source by a regulatable distance (19). The measuring method is based on calculating the thermal resistance R=(T1-T2)/Q, where T1-T2 and Q are, respectively, the temperature difference and the thermal flux between the sources. R1 is calculated with the element (11), then R2 is calculated without the element (11). The difference R1-R2 gives the thermal resistance of the element.
