If multiple grades of the material are in use, indicate the grade in the material name. Do not
specify the material lot as this is covered separately.
Step 4 – Select a material group.
If no group is selected, the material group is set to the default material group by the software.
Step 5 – Click the Add Material Values button (optional).
Step 6 – Enter material properties (optional).
Enter a temperature, then the effusivity, thermal conductivity, density, diffusivity, heat capacity,
and the source of the values. Not all values must be entered. When values are entered, indirect
values (diffusivity, heat capacity, R-value, and depth of penetration) can be calculated. Heat
capacity and diffusivity can be entered, or calculated if the density is entered.
For diffusivity, density and heat capacity must be entered.
For heat capacity, density must be entered.
For density, heat capacity must be entered.
The R-value and depth of penetration can be calculated without additional values.
Step 7 – Click the Save button.

Material Lot
A material lot differentiates between different batches of the same material. Material lots are
frequently created when a test is started but can also be created through a material record.
Step 1 – Open the material lot table.
Open the Manage Material table, and open the record for the material. Click the Show Lots
button.
Step 2 – Click the Add button.
Step 3 – Enter the lot number.
Each lot number for a material must be unique.
Step 4 – Click the Save button.

Test Method
A test method describes the parameters of a test: what type of measurements to take (thermal
conductivity or effusivity), when to take measurements, how many measurements to take. Unlike
