Results of inter-laboratory testing on COSC-1 cores and reference samples (density, porosity, thermal properties)

The data files contain the results of comparative measurements of thermal properties of four widely used rock references and nine core samples originating from the ICDP COSC-1 borehole, using a steady-state and a transient divided-bar device, a transient plane source device, a modified Angstrom device, as well as two optical thermal conductivity scanners. In addition, the Dewar method provided benchmark values for specific heat capacity.
