Heat Flux Meter (Thermal Flux Sensor) ISO 13943 / ASTM E1224
The Heat Flux Meter is designed to measure thermal radiation energy, expressed in kW/m², under steady-state conditions. It determines the heat flux emitted from a ceramic plate, incandescent resistor, or other heat source at a pre-determined distance. Each meter provides readings in mV, which are converted to kW/m² using calibration coefficients, allowing precise measurement of thermal radiation intensity.
Applications
The Heat Flux Meter is suitable for:
(1) Measuring heat flux in fire testing laboratories for building materials, textiles, and insulation.
(2) Calibrating thermal radiation sources for experimental setups.
(3) Evaluating fire resistance and thermal performance of industrial materials.
(4) Quality control for materials requiring precise thermal flux assessment.
(5) Research in energy, aerospace, and industrial material development.
Standards
(1) UNI EN 9174: Thermal insulation – Measurement of thermal flux on samples.
(2) ISO 13943: Fire safety – Vocabulary and definitions.
(3) ASTM E1224: Standard Test Method for Heat Flux Measurement Using Heat Flux Sensors.
(4) ISO 834: Fire-resistance tests – Elements of building construction.
(5) NFPA 285: Standard Method of Fire Test for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Wall Assemblies.
