Clean the surface to be measured and spread a thin layer of thermal glue

onto the backside of the Sensor. Then press the Sensor onto the surface

and follow the curing instructions of the glue.

6.2 Removal of the mounting substance

To remove the different mounting substances, refer to the respective

manufacturer’s instruction manual. If no instructions are available, contact

the supplier. Isopropanol and ethanol can be used as cleaning agents

whereas acids and alkali must be avoided to avoid damage to the Sensors.

Rub the surface gently with a soaked tissue to remove residues of the

mounting substance.

6.3 Mounting methods

The Sensor responds to all the three types of heat transfer: conduction,

convection and radiation. The HTX Heat Flux Sensors are fully calibrated

for measuring conductive heat flux. The conductive calibration ensures

highly precise measurements for the following two measurement

scenarios.
