BS01
BELT
HEAT FLUX SENSOR
The BS01 is a large-area
flexible heat flux and temperature sensor for in-situ evaluation of the
insulation value of pipes. With years of experience put into the design, it
is the “standard” for pipe insulation testing for subsea oil pipes.

INTRODUCTION
- The BS01 contains three heat flux
sensing areas and four integrated temperature sensors. Originally
designed for “simulated service conditions testing” for subsea oil
pipelines, it can withstand high hydrostatic pressures up to 110 bar and
is (contrary to other sensors) completely water-tight. The main
development effort has gone into the prevention of penetration of
moisture into the sensor at high pressures. With sensors not
specifically prepared for the high pressure, penetrated moisture will on
the long term lead to instability of the sensor calibration.
- The sensor is provided with a
mounting set for easy fixation, consisting of a cover and two springs.
