Water-cooled heat flux sensor SBG04

calibration

SBG04 is the preferred heat flux sensor for use as a calibration reference standard in cone calorimeter tests. The design includes two water cooling tubes fixed at a 90 ° angle to the sensor body. All specifications and dimensions are tailored for use in cone calorimeters, according to the standards ISO 5660 and ASTM E1354 reaction-to-fire tests. The sensor may also be used in flammability, fire resistance, and smoke chamber testing. For other water-cooled heat flux sensors, see the SBG01 and GG01 sensors. The sensor of choice for cone calorimeters SBG04 measures heat flux in the range of (10 to 100) x 103 W/m2. Equipped with a black absorber and water-cooled, the sensor is designed to measure heat flux from strong radiative sources. SBG04’s thermopile sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the incoming heat flux. The sensor is cooled, usually via tap water flowing through the stainless steel inlet and outlet tubes. These tubes stand at a 90 ° angle to the 0.5 inch diameter cylindrical sensor body axis, and parallel to the black sensor surface—as required for testing with cone calorimeters. Next-level technology SBG04 features a novel sensor design that combines the benefits of the technology of traditional Gardon gauges and the more recent thermopile technology of Schmidt-Boelter gauges. SBG04 has several advantages: cone calorimeter compatible all specifications and dimensions standardized according to ISO 5660 and ASTM E1354 small diameter of 12.7 mm (0.5 in) tubes at a 90 ° angle to the axis of the body scratch-resistant absorber coating (slightly lowered surface) safe transport and storage with a practical protection cap
