Abstract[English]
A thermal conductivity tool includes a housing having a penetrator cone on one longitudinal end. A thermal core is disposed in the housing at a selected distance from the penetrator cone. The thermal core comprises a core body having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart longitudinal bores therein. Each of the bores has a heating element or a temperature sensor, wherein the heating elements and the temperature sensors are circumferentially symmetric about a longitudinal axis of the thermal core. A thermal system defined by the thermal conductivity tool and surrounding media having a plurality of different known thermal conductivities is predetermined by simulation or empirical measurement.[French]
L'invention concerne un outil de conductivité thermique qui comprend un boîtier ayant un cône de pénétrateur sur une extrémité longitudinale. Un noyau thermique est disposé dans le boîtier à une distance sélectionnée du cône de pénétrateur. Le noyau thermique comprend un corps de noyau ayant une pluralité d'alésages longitudinaux espacés de manière circonférentielle en son sein. Chacun des alésages possède un élément chauffant ou un capteur de température, les éléments chauffants et les capteurs de température étant symétriques de manière circonférentielle autour d'un axe longitudinal du noyau thermique. Un système thermique défini par l'outil de conductivité thermique et les milieux environnants ayant une pluralité de conductivités thermiques connues différentes est prédéterminé par simulation ou mesure empirique.
