Measuring temperatures through or on flames
12/07/2010
The latest series of temperature sensors is designed specifically for the measurement of combustion processes. The thermoMETER CTlaser C2/C4/C6 sensors can measure the temperature of objects through flames or directly record the temperature of the flame itself.
The C4 model has a specific measurement wavelength for making exact temperature measurements through flames.
The measurement range of 200 – 1,400°C is used for monitoring workpieces within industrial ovens and furnaces or for monitoring furnace linings.
The sensors can directly measure the temperature of flame gases by means of the CO2 and CO absorption bands in the gas. These pyrometers can be used for measuring in combustion processes or measuring the processes in chemical reactors.
Like all the models in the CTlaser series, the new systems have a stainless steel measuring head with an innovative double laser sight for accurately marking the target at any distance. It is possible to measure small objects of 1.6mm diameter at a distance of 70mm.
In terms of integration in a process environment, the pyrometers offer high flexibility through selectable analog outputs and a variety of digital interfaces.
