Hukseflux offers a wide range of sensors for heat flux and temperature measurement. The thermopile heat flux sensor and thermocouple temperature sensor are both passive sensors; they do not require power.
Such sensors can be connected directly to data loggers and amplifiers. The heat flux in W/m² is calculated by dividing the heat flux sensor’s output, a small voltage, by its sensitivity. The sensitivity is provided with the sensor on its certificate and can be programmed into the data logger.
