Advantage:
Ultra thin: the local temperature increase
across the sensor thermal resistance by the heat flux
is minimized, and the period of time needed to reach
the steady state of heat flow inside the sensor is
minimized.
No dependent temperature: the greatest advantage
of the Captec sensor is to have a sensitivity which
no temperature is dependent between the range extending
from - 200°C to +200°C.
Flexibility: Size and shape on request, custom
made for all types of special application, can be
mounted on all surface types (flexible), option thermocouple.
Measurement: Short response time, very high sensitivity,
low electrical resistance. |
Applications:
|
Numerous applications: Heat flux measurement, thermal
process regulation, testing of thermal insulation,
detection of frost/polymerisation/state change….when
for example the environment impede to use a great
one.
