HTHF-Probe Extremely High Temperature Heat Flux Probe

The HTHF-Probe is an extreme environment 1" diameter threaded probe style heat flux sensor that can withstand extremely high temperatures and can be packaged with an optional water-cooled housing. Inconel sheathing protects the sensor's measurement leads against extreme temperatures that is experienced in harsh testing environments.

*The standard copper housing determines the limiting temperature factor.  Custom material housing such as stainless steel may be built upon request.  Incident air temperature may be hotter assuming proper sinking conditions are met.

**Maximum heat flux is application dependent.  Proper sinking may tolerate higher incident heat flux.
