The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the ""Consellería de Innovación e Industria de la Xunta de Galicia"" (project PGIDIT07PXIB310190PR)We measured using the multi-current hot-wire method the thermal conductivity (lambda) of two different clay pastes suitable to be used as peloids The same wire and system was used to measure the lambda of water and the results were compared with literature data Special attention was paid to statistical data analysis The obtained lambda values for the clay pastes are higher than the lambda of water at the same temperature.journal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.clay.2010.08.012http://www.sciencedirect.com/metadata only access536Absolute measurementsWaterBentonitesMixturesDensityGlycolsTermodinámica2213 Termodinámica
