Temperature (°C, °F, and K) is a relative measure of thermal energy, whereas heat (J) is the actual energy
transferred between objects due to a temperature difference. Heat Transfer refers to the process of thermal energy moving from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
Heat Flux (W/m2) is the amount of heat transferred from or to a surface per unit time per unit area. This heat flux is measured by the temperature change brought by the effect of the heat flux sensor. A Heat Flux Sensor is a state of the art device designed to measure the rate of heat transfer through a surface. This versatile tool provides valuable data on heat flow, enabling users to analyze, control, and optimize thermal processes across various industries.
