Heat Flux Products From Raptor Scientific

Browse our selection of thermal flux sensors, transducers and thermocouples:

Heat flux transducers: Our selection of heat flux transducers includes the 24 series, 64 series and 8 series. All series models are designed to perform in rugged environments with the utmost accuracy.
Thermocouple probes: Raptor Scientific offers a series of thermocouple products, including fine wire, high temperature and coaxial models. Measure gas temperature with the fine wire probes or use our tantalum sheathed high temperature probes for extreme environments. Coaxial probes are made to measure surface temperature in 1 microsecond.
Thermocouples: We offer three versions of our rapid-response heat flux thermocouples. Use respective models for surface temperature, internal temperature and heat flux measurements. These thermocouples have been developed with unique temperature sensors to outperform ordinary temperature probes.
Heat flux probes: Our furnace heat flux probes can measure total flux and radiant flux during insertion in an industrial furnace. These probes include a removable calcium fluoride window attachment designed to block convective heat.

Applications

Raptor Scientific supports a range of industries with transducers and thermocouples, including:

Defense: The defense industry relies on transducers and thermocouples to measure the performance and safety of critical military systems. Potential use cases include flammability testing, engine performance monitoring and heat signature analysis.
Aerospace: Aerospace developments require heat flux testing to ensure performance in harsh environments. Heat flux equipment is commonly used for flight testing, thermal protection system testing, heat transfer monitoring for propulsion systems and hypersonic vehicle development.
Industrial: Like aerospace and defense, many industrial systems need to perform accurately in rugged environments. Heat flux sensors can be used in various industrial applications, such as monitoring insulation performance, detecting early system failures and overseeing blast furnace performance.

These high-temperature sensor components are often the only source for certain applications, such as space flight-certified heat flux transducers, and gas base thermocouples, and are listed as the standard for many U.S. and International fire testing specifications.
