Plasma facing components (PFCS) for future fusion reactors and for existing experiments around the world receive intense heat loads that vary in time and in space. Sandia National Laboratories performs high heat flux testing in our Plasma Materials Test Facility to simulate these heat loads. We monitor the targets with IR cameras and obtain data from pyrometers, thermocouples and coolant calorimetry to determine their thermal performance. We present examples from targets with
