MF-180M
- Waterproof & Durable
Overview
A heat flux sensor is a thermopile, an electronic device that translates thermal energy into an electrical voltage proportional to the temperature gradient across its thermocouples' hot and cold junctions.
EKO Instruments offers a selection of thin substrate heat-flux sensors in a range of different sizes and thicknesses, an ideal option for research and engineering applications as well as manufacturing control and monitoring processes.
Tough enough to weather constant outdoor exposure, the MF-180M is moulded with epoxy resin, and based on a Teflon (PTFE) substrate with Carbon FRP cladding. It's tough, sensitive, and comes in the same small 4 x 2 cm² size as the MF-180, suitable for a range of applications.
