New data for thermophysical properties of materials are being discovered and measured routinely throughout the world, but sometimes conflicts exist in the published data from various sources. We introduce an online thermal properties database intended for use as a repository for experimentally obtained thermophysical properties of materials by researchers across the globe. This online database is a part of www.thermalhub.org, which is a NSF-funded cyber infrastructure initiative aimed at serving the global heat transfer community. The relevant details associated with an experiment, such as the material type and composition, the thermophysical property measured, the test methods employed, the test conditions of the experiment, the results of the experiments, the uncertainty associated with the experimental results, and the literature where the results are published, are included as fields in the online database. It is known that one thermophysical property can be tested by various methods whose results may differ. Similarly, one thermophysical property can be experimentally measured under varying test conditions to produce different results.
