Best Answer

The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.
