Feritech - Model FT580 - Heat Flow System Datasheet

The FT580 heat flow system has been designed to work as a standalone system, or as an add-on sensor to our range of piston, gravity and vibrocorers. High resolution digital data can either be collected in real time using an umbilical cable or logged internally for retrieval when the instrument is recovered to the vessel. Heat flow systems are used in many industries including environmental impact, gas hydrate stability analysis, renewable power cable design and lithospheric research and much more. Our heat flow system measures the thermal gradient used to calculate thermal conductivity/resistivity of marine sediment. To achieve this various parameters are collected including probe insertion acceleration and inclination, water temperature, the heat pulse energy administered and the marine sediment temperature at defined depths (0.5m increments as standard but our system will provide ultra-high resolution data up to 0.05m spacing).
