Range: ± 2kWm²
Resolution: 1 Watt/sq. metre
Operating temperature range: -25ºC to 85ºC
The Heatflow sensor is designed to measure the flow of heat energy between its upper and lower surfaces giving a bi-directional output in Watts/m². The sensing area is a thermopile consisting of 400 thermocouples set in resin for protection.
Tips for use:
When using the heatflow sensor, it should be attached to the test surface using adhesive tape or a rubber band, and left in position for at least 2 minutes to stabilise. (Holding it in position with your hand will produce false readings.)
If used on a metallic or glass surface which have low emissivity, attach aluminium foil to the sensor with double sided adhesive tape to improve accuracy.
