Heat Flux Sensor

Heat Flux Measurement Technique relies on Heat Flux Sensors. These sensors are most economically priced, but still equally reliable sensors available in the world market.It has minimal thickness while still maintaining excellent sensitivity.  This sensor is recommended for permanent placement use such as long term thermal monitoring of windows, walls, ducts, pipes, etc

These sensors are available in TWO versions. One is basic sensor and another one is the encapsulated version in which sensor is encapsulated in either copper, brass, or aluminum to make it more robust.  With the encapsulation, the sensor still maintains excellent sensitivity while increasing durability necessary to withstand being removed and reapplied to surfaces multiple times

Heat Flux Sensors measure a flow of thermal energy between two media by convection, conduction, or radiation. While temperature sensors such as thermocouples and RTDs only provide measurements of temperature, heat flux sensors can sense where thermal energy transfer is taking place, how much is being transferred, and in what direction. The information acquired from being able to directly measure a flow of heat is useful for a variety of applications
