Abstract
A quench system cooling effectiveness meter including a reference sensor and a measurement sensor is disclosed. The reference sensor and the measurement sensor are included in a resistance bridge. The amount of heat that can be removed by the quench system from the measurement sensor is recorded to determine the cooling effectiveness of the quench system. The meter can be moved to different locations within the quench system to measure cooling variations within the system as a function of location.
