Hukseflux Thermal Sensors
HFP01SC Manual v0811 page 7/33
As for the Quality Assurance: measuring with a conventional
heat flux sensor, after the sensor is dug in it is assumed that its
remains where it is, in good contact with the soil, all cabling in
good condition. With the HFP01SC during the calibration
implicitly the cabling is checked, thermal connection and also the
soil thermal conductivity (as the correction that we make is
largely dependent on soil thermal conductivity).
Summarising: when compared to heat flux measurements with
conventional heat flux plates, measurement with HFP01SC has a
higher accuracy and by applying the measurement a better
quality accurance is achieved.
