The Hukseflux FTN02 Thermal Needle System is a field-ready solution designed to determine soil and soft-material thermal conductivity and resistivity using the transient line-source method. Available to rent or hire, it delivers reliable, standards-compliant results for geotechnical engineers, underground power cable installers, renewable-energy consultants, and research professionals who require fast, repeatable thermal characterisation on site.
Manufactured by Hukseflux, the FTN02 couples a rugged TP07 thermal needle with an integrated heater and precision temperature sensor, all driven by purpose-built control electronics and logging software. Once the probe is inserted, the system automatically applies a controlled heat pulse and records the resulting temperature rise, enabling accurate calculation of thermal properties in accordance with ASTM D5334 and IEEE 442 procedures. The compact logger stores test parameters and results for easy export, while the probe’s slim profile minimises disturbance to the surrounding medium, ensuring dependable data even in heterogeneous soils.
Key Features:
- TP07 Thermal Needle: Combines heater and thermistor in a 150 mm stainless-steel probe for low-disturbance insertion and high measurement accuracy.
- Automatic Heat-Pulse Control: Embedded electronics deliver a precise, standards-compliant heat pulse and manage data acquisition without manual adjustment.
- On-board Data Logging: Internal memory records temperature-time curves and final conductivity/resistivity results for convenient download and reporting.
- Field-Optimised Design: Durable cables, weather-resistant housing, and battery operation support extended use at remote or challenging job sites.
- Standards Compliance: Measurement methodology aligns with ASTM D5334 and IEEE 442, helping users satisfy project and regulatory requirements.
