K Factor & Thermal Conductivity: Find Insulation Supplies

[SBNY444]

A lot of insulating materials only list the density and K-Factor. Is there a way to obtain thermal conductivity (Watts/[m*C]) so it can be modeled in say finite element program. No software i know of can work with K-Factor. And for a bonus question. can you also calculate the specific heat of a material from these values for the same reason - transient thermal modeling (needs specific heat). Try finding insulation on the web that lists specific heat of the material. I have yet to find a supplier that has specific heat information about their product readily available.

You can transform K-factor into thermal conductivity if you know the definitions.
Or you could use an online calculator like this one
