Thermal resistivity
testing.

Assess heat-transfer behaviour in soil and rock using the needle-probe method. Share your project requirements, material condition and proposed test environment so our team can confirm suitability, preparation and the applicable scope.

NEEDLE-PROBE THERMAL RESISTIVITY TESTING

PLAN THE TEST ENVIRONMENT

Laboratory samples
or field measurements.

01

Laboratory testing

Testing may be completed on suitable soil or rock specimens under agreed laboratory conditions.

Confirm specimen form, dimensions, moisture, density and preparation before sending material.

Sample delivery to Boronia by arrangement
02

Field testing

Where field testing is requested, provide the site location, material, access details, test positions and site conditions for review.

Suitability, access, safety requirements and attendance arrangements must be confirmed.

Discuss site testing before scheduling

Listed method: ASTM D5334. Refer to your project specification and confirm the method and reporting requirements with our team.

A CLEARER QUOTE

Send the application
and material details.

We will confirm the test environment, specimens or site attendance, method, timing and deliverables for the agreed scope.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Define what the result
needs to represent.

Can you test both soil and rock?

Soil and rock are listed capabilities, but specimen suitability and preparation depend on the material and project requirements. Send details or photographs before dispatch.

Should testing be completed in the laboratory or field?

That depends on the application and the condition the result needs to represent. Explain the project context and our team can discuss the available approach.

How much material should I send?

Quantity and geometry depend on material type, preparation and the requested test condition. Contact the laboratory before sampling or delivery.

Will the testing be NATA-accredited?

Accreditation applies to specific activities and conditions. Tell us if accredited testing is required so we can confirm the applicable scope. View the laboratory’s NATA listing ↗.
