The core sample is heated from the outside at a known rate and the rise in temperature at the surface of the core tube is measured. Because the temperature at the surface, increasing with time, is a function of the thermal properties of both the core tube and the sample, the thermal properties of the sample can be estimated by comparing the measured temperature with the theory, provided that the thermal properties of the core tube are known. Thus it is not necessary to extract the sample from the core tube to make the measurements. Neither is it necessary to insert a heater, or temperature sensor, into the sample within the core tube, as would be required if another method were applied. The sample remains intact after the measurements. The temperature change in the sample can be kept to a minimum as long as the thermal conductivity determination is possible with a reasonable precision. If the radiative method of heat transfer is chosen, the core tube will only be in mechanical contact with the sample holder and a sensor attached to the core tube to measure the surface temperature, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of disturbing the sample.
