The problems and prospects of application of non-destructive testing methods for technical diagnostics of the thermal networks state and various technological objects are discussed. The recording of the temperature state of thermal processes by using a flow meter is due to its sensitivity to the change of thermophysical characteristics and the ability to control without the use of an external energy source, etc. The description of the developed device to measuring of the heat flow using of a thermoelectric heat flow converter of a special design is shown. A distinctive feature of the device is the heating element that installed on an insulating layer serving as a support surface. Calibration of the device is proposed to be carried out by replacing the heat flow from the investigated object with the heat flow released in the heating element when an electric current passes through it. The developed device can register the changes in the heat flux density in the range of (25-100) W/m2, which allows it possible to detect the smallest thermal insulation defects.
