Schmidt-Boelter heat flux gauge
Schmidt-Boelter: Heat conduction cooling type, water-cooled type
Corresponding to all heat fluxes of radiation, convection, and conduction.
The Schmidt-Boelter heat flux gauge (S/B gauge) is a sensor that corresponds to all modes of heat transfer: radiation, convection, and conduction. It is used in various applications, including aerodynamic wind tunnel experiments. The S/B gauge is made by winding constantan wire in a spiral around an electrically insulating thin sheet, with half of the winding (half a turn) being copper-plated. This process results in the formation of a thermocouple at the locations where the plating on both sides of the thin sheet is completed. The design developed by Vatell and patented in the United States (US6,186,661) insulates the thermocouple on the back side of the thin sheet and directs the surrounding heat towards the housing.

basic information
**Overview** The Schmidt-Boelter heat flux gauge (S/B gauge) is a sensor that responds to all modes of heat transfer: radiation, convection, and conduction. It is used in various applications, including aerodynamic wind tunnel experiments. The S/B gauge is made by spirally winding a constantan wire around a thin, electrically insulating sheet, with half of the winding (half a turn) being copper-plated. This process results in the formation of a thermocouple at the location where plating is completed on both sides of the sheet. The design developed by Vatell, which holds a U.S. patent (US6,186,661), insulates the thermocouple on the backside of the sheet and directs the surrounding heat towards the housing. **Features** - U.S. patented manufacturing method (US 6,186,661) - Fast response time of 30 milliseconds - Compact size: outer diameter 4.7mm, length 7.6mm - Water-cooled jacket compatible - Can be modified into a radiometer For other functions and details, please contact us.
