Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG01

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SBG01 is a water-cooled heat flux sensor introduced in 2008, primarily used for fire testing, including reaction to fire and fire resistance tests. It serves as a calibration reference standard for various test equipment and complies with ASTM and ISO standards.

Specifications
The sensor measures heat fluxes from 5 to 200 x 10³ W/m² and is sensitive to both radiative and convective heat flux. It features a thermopile sensor that generates an output voltage proportional to the heat flux. The sensor is cooled using tap water, maintaining a stable temperature even in high heat environments.

Models and Options
SBG01 is available in six models with different measurement ranges and calibration reference levels. Options include different body designs, cable lengths, and the addition of thermocouples (Type T or K).

Technology and Advantages
The sensor combines traditional Gardon gauge technology with modern Schmidt-Boelter thermopile technology, offering robust water tubes, a scratch-resistant absorber coating, and a protective cap for safe transport and storage.

Measurement Uncertainty
Uncertainty depends on sensor properties, calibration quality, sensor stability, and application-related factors. It requires careful evaluation, especially in environments with significant convective heat transfer.

Calibration and Standards
SBG01 is calibrated according to ISO 14934-3, with traceability to a secondary reference standard. Calibration is essential for maintaining accuracy, with periodic recalibration recommended every two years. Compliance with ISO and ASTM standards is necessary for accredited testing.

General Specifications
Key specifications include a cooling water temperature range of 10 to 30 °C, a flow rate of >10 l/h, and a response time of less than 450 ms for certain ranges. The sensor has a spectral range of 0 to 50 x 10⁻⁶ m and a full field of view angle of 180°.

Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG01-2

SBG01 Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG01 is a water-cooled sensor that measures heat flux. Since its introduction in 2008, SBG01 has rapidly become the sensor of choice for fire testing. The most common applications are to test reaction to fire and fire resistance. The sensor also serves as a calibration reference standard for test equipment, including flammability and smoke chamber tests. SBG01 complies with the requirements of most common ASTM and ISO standard test methods. Introduction SBG01 is the preferred choice for fire testing, capable of measuring heat fluxes from (5 to 200) x 10³ W/m²....

Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG01-3

SBG01 is available in 6 models, each with a different rated measurement range and with a different calibration reference irradiance level. There are several optional body designs, with the standard body equipped with a smooth cylindrical body and flange (model SBG01). Another common option is a smooth cylinder body without a flange (model SBG03). Also, thermocouple (Type T or K) can be fitted upon request. SBG01 features a novel sensor design that combines the benefits of the technology of traditional Gardon gauges and the more recent thermopile technology of Schmidt-Boelter gauges. - robust...
