HORTICULTURE DEVELOPMENT OF‐ FICER(HDO) -2015 Thermal conductivity ranks materials based on their heat conduction ability. Metals are generally excellent conductors, liquids are moderate, and non-metals/insulators are poor conductors. Steel (metal) has high conductivity, water has moderate conductivity, and wood has low conductivity.
