Self-calibrating heat flux sensors FHF05SC series

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The FHF05SC series are self-calibrating heat flux sensors designed for high-accuracy and long-term measurements. They are ideal for applications such as calorimeters, core temperature measurement, and thermal conductivity testing. The series includes two models: a standard 50x50 mm and a larger 85x85 mm model.

Design and Features
These sensors combine a heat flux sensor with an integrated heater, allowing for self-testing and verification of sensor functionality without removal. They feature a flexible design, low thermal resistance, and a wide temperature range. The sensors are equipped with thermal spreaders to ensure sensitivity is independent of environmental thermal properties. They also include a Type T thermocouple for additional temperature measurement.

Unique Features and Benefits
  • Self-testing heater
  • Flexible design with a bending radius of ≥ 15 x 10-3 m
  • IP67 protection rating for outdoor and humid environments
  • Fast response time and robust design

Usage and Applications
The sensors are easy to use and connect directly to data logging systems. They are suitable for high-accuracy scientific measurements, convective heat transfer studies, calorimeter prototyping, and non-invasive core temperature measurement.

Self-Testing Capability
The integrated heater allows for regular performance checks without uninstalling the sensor. This self-test verifies the sensor's performance and stability over time.

Specifications
  • Measurement range: -10 to +10 x 103 W/m2
  • Sensitivity: 50x50 model - 13 x 10-6 V/(W/m2), 85x85 model - 50 x 10-6 V/(W/m2)
  • Temperature range: -40 to +120 °C for continuous use
  • IP67 protection class

Options and Accessories
  • Cable lengths of 5 or 10 m
  • BLK and GLD stickers for measuring radiative and convective heat flux

Self-calibrating heat flux sensors FHF05SC series-3

Introduction FHF05SC self-calibrating sensors consist of a heat flux sensor, combined with a heater. This combination is used when the highest level of quality assurance is required and for long-term heat flux measurements. their environment. Many competing sensors do not have thermal spreaders, so their sensitivity cannot be relied upon since it varies depending on the material on which they are mounted. The thin, flexible, and versatile FHF05SC sensors measure heat flux (in W/m2) either through the object in which they are incorporated or on which they are mounted. Each sensor contains a thermopile...

- heater for self-testing purposes - flexible (bending radius £ 15 x 10-3 m) - wide temperature range - fast response time - integrated Type T thermocouple - robust design, including cable connection block for strain relief (essential for outdoor and humid environments) - integrated thermal spreaders for low thermal conductivity dependence Using an FHF05SC sensor is easy. For heat flux measurements, it connects directly to commonly used data logging systems. The heat flux (in W/m2) is calculated by dividing the sensor output, a small voltage, by the sensitivity—which is provided on the sensor's...

Application example –high-accuracy scientific measurement of heat flux, with a high level of data quality assurance – study of convective heat transfer mechanisms – calorimeter prototyping – (zero heat flux) non-invasive core temperature measurement – thermal conductivity test equipment The FHF05SC heater can be used to check for stable performance of the sensor at regular intervals without the need to uninstall the sensor or interrupt operation. A typical stability check is based on analysis of the step response of the measured heat flux and sensor temperature to several minutes of heating....
