This paper describes an experimental investigation of plasma jet properties on PlasmaSonic 350 kW Inductively
Coupled Plasma Tekna torch, operated in the Ground Testing Facility System, designed for thermal material
protection research and experimental studies of aerodynamics heating effect, under high enthalpy flow testing.
The ICPT-350 kW can be operated from 0.3 to 5 bar torch pressure and develops an enthalpy flow conditions
up to 31 MJ/Kg. Various experimental measurements such us enthalpy, heat flux and sample surface
temperature are presented and discussed.
