HUKX Brochure Flare radiation monitor/heat flux sensor

heat flux sensor HF02 is a sensor that measures radiant heat flux or thermal radiation in the outdoor environment. A common application is monitoring the radiation emitted by flares. HF02 is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and is rated for radiation levels up to 15 x 103 W/m2. We recommend the use of HF02 in a decision-supporting role only, and not to use measurements of HF02 as the main or sole source of information for judging safety.

Introduction HF02 is used in alarm systems, using the heat flux measurement to issue a warning in case of high thermal radiation exposure of equipment or personnel. It is typically installed close to a flare. A common assumption is that the heat flux level in a safe environment for personnel must not exceed 5 x 103 W/m2 (or 1.5 x 103 BTU/(hr∙ft2)). Above that heat flux level, or when the temperature of the sensor body exceeds 70 °C, an alarm is activated. A typical alarm system will include multiple HF02 sensors, all aimed at the main source of radiation, as well as other decision-supporting...

- suitable for potentially explosive environments - outdoor flare monitoring HF02 should be regularly inspected. The sensor performance can be verified by comparison to a portable heat flux sensor - Longer cable: standard length of the high-temperature metal-sheathed cable as well as the low-temperature extension cable is 3 m. Both can be extended up to 100 m. - Sensitivity: we offer dedicated converters for HF02 to provide a standardized output. - Shielding options: the standard version has the sensor body and the high-temperature cable connected to the shield/drain wire of the low-temperature...
