Subject: Heat transfer between grease joints and pressure joints 

For one surface resting on another, the force of the contact is the grativational force of the top surface. There's an implicit factor of g that cancels out from the ratio, so it becomes a ratio of masses. The heat conductance listed for a 50 kg Al-Al pressure joint is interpreted as the heat conductance for a force of 50g.

Is there a units issue? 50 kg is a mass, but not a force.
