HTHF-Probe Extremely High Temperature Heat Flux Probe
The HTHF-Probe is an extreme environment 1" diameter threaded probe style heat flux sensor that can withstand extremely high temperatures and can be packaged with an optional water-cooled housing. Inconel sheathing protects the sensor's measurement leads against extreme temperatures that is experienced in harsh testing environments.
