Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG04

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SBG04 is a water-cooled heat flux sensor designed primarily for use as a calibration reference standard in cone calorimeter tests, adhering to ISO 5660 and ASTM E1354 standards. It is also applicable in flammability, fire resistance, and smoke chamber testing.

Specifications
The SBG04 measures heat flux in the range of 10 to 100 x 103 W/m2 and features a black absorber with water cooling. It combines traditional Gardon gauge technology with modern Schmidt-Boelter thermopile technology. Key specifications include a small diameter of 12.7 mm, tubes at a 90° angle, and a scratch-resistant absorber coating.

Calibration and Standards
Each SBG04 sensor is calibrated against a secondary reference standard, traceable to the primary standard of RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB. Calibration follows ISO 14934-3, and while Hukx is ISO 9001 certified, it is not ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. The sensor's use in cone calorimeters is detailed in ISO 5660 standards.

Measurement Uncertainty
The measurement uncertainty is influenced by sensor properties, calibration quality, sensor stability, and application-related factors. Routine verification and periodic recalibration are recommended to maintain accuracy.

Usage Recommendations
The SBG04 is recommended for use as a calibration reference in cone calorimeter tests and other fire-related testing environments. It should be used with water cooling, and its calibration should be regularly checked against reference standards.

Additional Information
The brochure also mentions other sensors like SBG01 and GG01 for different measurement ranges and applications. Hukx, the manufacturer, is a leader in solar radiation and heat flux sensor technology, with a global presence.
