Two Color Pyrometer

The Two-color infrared pyrometer is primarily used in the metallurgical industry to measure the temperature of steel or molten iron, wire, rod, and hot-rolled steel. The pyrometer can “look” into a process and measure the target temperature from a distance, providing an accurate reading while eliminating problems associated with contact measuring devices. The use of dual infrared wavelengths overcome application challenges such as small targets, variable emissivity, dust, water or other interfering media between the target and the pyrometer. Accurate temperatures are obtained even when the target is 95% obstructed. Target emissivity is calculated by the pyrometer eliminating the need for the user to know and enter an emissivity value.
