The applicability of the laser flash method for measuring the thermal diffusivity of highly porous cordierite materials is investigated. Due to the surface roughness of the samples, some indetermination in the sample thickness measurement is produced, which induces errors in the thermal diffusivity calculation. This problem was partially overcome by attaching two thin Cu layers to both surfaces of the samples. The thermal diffusivity and conductivity values of two porous cordierite materials (40 and 50 vol % of porosity) are reported using this procedure and results are discussed comparing with data for three-layer models.
