Hukseflux is pleased to present to you TPSYS20, our new thermal conductivity measuring system. Equipped with thermal needle probe TP02 / TP08, TPSYS20 is not only accurate, but also following the improved method requirements of ASTM D5334 – 14. It is user friendly as well: the system can be connected to a local area network or USB port. You simply use a web browser to control your measurement.

SR30 is our digital spectrally flat Class A pyranometer with heating, internal ventilation and tilt sensor. SR30 has become the standard for utility-scale PV system performance monitoring. It was one of the main drivers of double-digit turnover growth in 2019 and 2020.
 
Now, the best just got even better: The new SR30-M2-D1 pyranometer replaces the current model version SR30-D1. It is offered with new Hukseflux Sensor Manager software, for communication between digital sensors and a PC. ISO / IEC 17025 accredited calibration is also included.

Read on the SR30-M2-D1 product page how to benefit from the improvements of the sensor.

Hukseflux Thermal Sensors is proud to announce it is formally accredited to perform ISO / IEC 17025 accredited pyranometer and pyrheliometer calibration services at its main production facility in Delft, the Netherlands. Our scope can be found here. We not only calibrate Hukseflux models; our services include the calibration of all major brands! An insightful PDF gives more details on Hukseflux calibration services and contents of certificates.

Hukseflux typically refers North American customers to ISO-CAL North America based in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. ISO-CAL North America offers an even broader scope, including high-accuracy outdoors pyranometer and pyrheliometer calibration services of “all brands and models”.

With the solid reputation and competitiveness of our next level pyranometer product range (SR30, SR15, SR05), some long-serving other products have become redundant. These products, SR11 and SR12, will be discontinued soon. Support and recalibration services will continue. User manuals can be found here.

Considering purchasing one of the older products? Take a look at the recommended alternatives:

DR01/02/03, THASYS and THISYS will also be discontinued soon. Please contact us to discuss a modern alternative suitable for your application. 

Looking for a relatively small heat flux sensor with the best price-performance ratio? The new FHF03 should be your first choice. FHF03 is an economical foil heat flux sensor with a flexible body and cable. It is thin, small and very versatile: FHF03 has an integrated temperature sensor and thermal spreaders to reduce thermal conductivity dependence. With its incorporated spreaders, the sensitivity of FHF03 is independent of its environment. Qualities like these are unmatched at this price level. 

For increased sensitivity, robustness and a larger sensing area, consider using model FHF02 and, in particular for building physics and soil heat flux, model HFP01, the world’s most popular heat flux sensor.

With the new FHF03, Hukseflux offers a complete range of heat flux sensors with the highest quality for any budget.

Our new GG01 Gardon gauge water-cooled sensor for high heat flux measurement likes it hot and stays cool. GG01 works at heat flux levels at which other sensors get toasted. Each GG01 Gardon gauge is tested at its rated range. Optionally GG01 can be equipped with a sapphire window: GG01-250-SW.

The sensor is called “Gardon gauge” after its inventor Robert Gardon. The benefit of this technology is that it can withstand very high heat fluxes. We invested in brand new manufacturing and test equipment for producing modern Gardon gauges.

Hukseflux is market leader in heat flux measurement, worldwide, offering sensors and measuring systems. With GG01 we now also have a complete range of water-cooled heat flux meters: GG01, HFS01 and SBG01. We will gladly assist you in choosing the right instrument for your application.

Hukseflux manufactures and sells thousands of pyranometers per year. Last year we've sold more SR30s than other Class A sensors, in particular for PV monitoring. The SR30-D1 Class A pyranometer with heating has unique capabilities for measuring solar radiation with the highest accuracy and data availability. There is yet another reason to choose SR30s over traditional pyranometers: their environmental impact. We analysed SR30's environmental impact vs. externally ventilated conventional pyranometers using “Eco-costs”. 

In our industrial heat flux product range, we offer a new sensor with unique capabilities: IHF02. Like its robust siblings IHF01 and HF05, it is strong to the core, yet IHF02 is sensitive at heart. Waterproof, withstanding high pressures and temperatures, but with its high sensitivity able to measure relative low levels of heat flux! Ideal for trend-monitoring and comparative testing in demanding applications. A fine engineering feat and a welcome addition to our range of sensors, systems and (recalibration) services covering your application’s needs.

With today’s introduction of the new DR20-A1 and DR15-A1 pyrheliometers, we offer a complete range of advanced solar radiation sensors. All ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat, from Class A to C, and with unique features and user benefits. Pyrheliometers, measuring direct solar irradiance (DNI), are used in tracker-mounted operation. The newly extended DR-series range is equipped with superior window heating for the highest data availability.

Hukseflux, market leader in instruments for heat flux measurement, turns up the heat. We introduce the new HFS01 sensor, capable of measuring high-intensity flames and 800 x concentrated direct solar radiation! It is the first ultra-robust high heat flux measuring solution for science and industry (solar concentrators, flame research).
