AB - This work presents the development of an experimental setup for measurements  on of thermal conductivity of solid materials, such as ceramics, polymers,  rubbers, glasses, biological materials, etc. whose thermal conductivity lies  in the approximate range between 0.1 and 2 Wm-1K-1. The setup was designed on  the principle of the single-sided guarded hot plate method. In order to find  the optimal design for generation of traceable one-dimensional heat flux  through an investigated 300×300 mm2 specimen, a numerical heat transfer FEM  analysis was performed. The principal components of the measuring apparatus,  such as hot plate with thermopile, cold plate and auxiliary hot plate were  constructed according to the obtained results of simulations. Software for  the control of experiment and data acquisition was developed using the  LabVIEW programming environment.
