In our industrial heat flux product range, we offer a new sensor with unique capabilities: IHF02. Like its robust siblings IHF01 and HF05, it is strong to the core, yet IHF02 is sensitive at heart. Waterproof, withstanding high pressures and temperatures, but with its high sensitivity able to measure relative low levels of heat flux! Ideal for trend-monitoring and comparative testing in demanding applications. A fine engineering feat and a welcome addition to our range of sensors, systems and (recalibration) services covering your application’s needs.
IHF02 measures heat flux and surface temperature of industrial equipment like furnaces, boilers, fluidised beds, distillation columns and ovens. The sensors inside IHF02, a thermopile and a type K thermocouple, are protected by a fully sealed stainless steel body. It is suitable for long-term use at one location as well as surveys at multiple locations. IHF02 measures heat flux through the object on which it is mounted, in W/m², as well as the temperature in °C. An optional magnet frame is offered for easy mounting on magnetic surfaces.
IHF02 is 25 times more sensitive than model IHF01, so that, with the same measurement accuracy of its output voltage, it can be used to measure much lower heat flux levels. 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 magnet frame can be used up to 500 °C. The low-temperature extension cable has a jacket of PTFE type plastic.
