MF-180 Heat flux Sensor

The MF-180 has a high sensitivity in spite of the small size. It is suitable for measuring a small heat flow generating a detectable output. For system designers and research engineers it is a convenient detector to validate the physical mathematics of simulated heat transfer models.

Features

  • Thinnest heatflux sensor on the market
  • High sensitivity
  • Small size and profile

For the evaluation of:

  • Efficiency of heat insulation
  • Water retention and thermal insulation
  • Thermal loss in air conditioners and pipes Heat flow at the side walls of refrigerators and freezers
  • Heat insulation and water retention after retaining construction
  • Thermal resistance of insulating materials in accordance with ASTM C-58
  • Thermal loss of insulating walls such as CHB and GHB
  • Cold retention rate and comparison/observation of cold-retaining materials used for LNG tanks
  • Heat flow rates in housing
  • Conformable rate of building materials for both walls and flooring

MF-180M

Similar to the MF-180 but waterproof and durable design for soil heat flow measurement. Thin shape does not effect soil water thermal transportation.

For the measurement of:

  • Heat flow in soil
  • Heat insulation rate in soil according to the quality of the soil or existence of vegetation
  • Analysis of microclimate phenomena in greenhouses
  • Road freezing and soil freezing tests

The low output Voltage of the heat flow sensor can be easily converted to a 4-20mA current or higher Voltage using the MS-4..20mA converter. The mV/mA converter can be pre-programmed and optimized within the operating range compatible with common measurement equipment.
