Hot Mill / Continuous Casting of Steel
A View of the Process and the Location of the Pyrometer in the Process
View of the Water Vapor that is Between the Pyrometer and the Steel
Harsh and Challenging Environmental Conditions, High Heat, Dirt, Smoke, Fog, and Water Vapor
The Installation Phase-
A Critical Step to get an Accurate Measurement Over Time and to Keep the Pyrometer from being Damaged
Two Complex Tasks for the Pyrometer-
The First is the Pyrometer’s Resistance to Environmental Conditions.
and the Second and Most Important is Obtaining Accurate Measurement at these Conditions.
To Meet the First Task,
We Recommend Putting the Pyrometer in a Steel Cooling Jacket that Includes an Air Purge Unit.
The Pyrometer Gets Triple Protection, First is the Mechanical Protection, Second is Maintaining an Adequate Temperature for the Electronic Components, and Third is Protection of the Lens from Dirt.
Our Pyrometer Android Application Enables Easy and Convenient Temperature Monitoring for the Process Engineer, Parallel to Collecting Data through Digital or Analog Outputs.
Another Look at the Process and the Difficulties of Measuring the Temperature
To Meet the Second Challenge, One Must Choose the Right Spectral Range to Measure At, Set the Right Parameters for the Application, and Perform a Regular Checkup to Verify that Measurements are Accurate.
