Abstract
The invention relates to heat flow measurements. In particular, the invention relates to a surface adapter (10A, 10B, 100) for a heat flow measurement device, a device comprising such adapter (10A, 10B, 100) and a method of measuring heat flow. The adapter is comprises a rim (12) positionable around a measurement head (20) of a heat flux measurement device, the rim (12) being at least partly made of resilient material capable of adapting in shape to uneven surfaces for thermally insulating the measurement head (20) from its surroundings. The invention allows for more accurate thermal flow measurements.
Claims19
An adapter for fitting a measurement head of a heat flux measurement device on a surface, the adapter comprising:
- a rim positionable around the measurement head of the heat flux measurement device, wherein the rim is at least partly made of resilient material capable of adapting in shape to uneven surfaces for thermally insulating the measurement head from its surroundings
- a thermal contact pad arranged outside the rim and supported by the rim by one more second support members.
