Thermal Sensors Industrial heat flux sensor IHF01 industrial heat flux sensor measures heat flux and temperature, typically in industrial hightemperature environments. IHF01 is waterproof, withstands high pressures and is extremely robust. With signal wires electrically insulated from the sensor body, it complies with industrial safety standards, such as CE and ATEX for explosive areas. IHF01 is particularly suitable for trend-monitoring and comparative testing. The same technology can be used to manufacture heat flux sensors for different applications. Introduction IHF01 measures heat flux and surface temperature of industrial equipment like furnaces, boilers, fluidised beds, distillation columns and ovens. The sensors inside IHF01, a thermopile and a thermocouple, are protected by a fully sealed stainless steel body. It is suitable for long-term use at one location as well as repeated installation when a measuring system is used at multiple locations. IHF01 measures heat flux through the object on which it is mounted, in W/m2, as well as the temperature in °C. The sensors in IHF01 are a thermopile and a type K thermocouple. The thermopile measures the local heat flux. Figure 1 IHF01 industrial heat flux sensor The thermocouple measures the absolute temperature of the surface on which HF01 is mounted, as well as the approximate sensor body temperature. A thermopile and a thermocouple are passive sensors; they do not require power. The part of the cabling closest to the sensor is a special high-temperature metal sheathed cable with an interlocked spiral stainless steel armour. The sensor as well as the high-temperature cable and armour withstand temperatures up to 900 °C. The temperature range is reduced to 650 °C in case the optional black coating is used. The lowtemperature extension cable has a jacket of PTFE type plastic. Suggested use trend-monitoring and comparative measurement of heat flux and surface temperature in industrial installations.

Thermal Sensors Using IHF01 is easy. It can be connected directly to commonly used data logging systems. The heat flux, in W/m2, is calculated by dividing the IHF01 output, a small voltage, by the sensitivity. The sensitivity is provided with IHF01 on its product certificate. Equipped with heavy duty cabling, and having a fully stainless steel casing so that moisture does not penetrate the sensor, IHF01 has proven to be very reliable. It survives long-term outdoor installation. 3 Measurand Measurand Heat flux sensor Temperature sensor Sensitivity (nominal) Calibration traceability...

Thermal Sensors Trend-monitoring and comparative measurement IHF01 is most suitable for relative measurements, i.e. monitoring of trends relative to a certain reference point in time or comparing heat flux at one location to the heat flux at another location. If the user wants to perform accurate absolute measurements with IHF01, as opposed to relative measurements, the user must make his own uncertainty evaluation and correction for systematic errors.
