Instrotech, local distributor of process control instrumentation and specialised systems, has on offer two products specifically for application in the measurement and control of temperature, the Optris CSmicro LT pyrometer, for cement manufacture and Optris PI400 infrared camera.
CEMENT MANUFACTURE and Optris CSmicro LT pyrometer
Temperature is a critically importance component in the process of making of concrete, and specifically, the importance of controlling the temperature before the concrete is deposited. Optimal temperature of the concrete must fall within the range of +5°C and +55°C, a factor which greatly influences the final characteristics of concrete and performance (cracking, resistance and wear and tear). Concrete temperature is directly related to the development of strength and fresh concrete can be damaged when exposed to very low or very high temperatures.
Key factors to control during the pouring of concrete related with temperature:
- Warm weather affects speed limits evaporation
- Cold weather inhibits the hydration process
Optris’ CSmicro LT is equipped with an innovative, miniaturised stainless steel measuring head, the optimally suited for installation in limited spaces. Its small size and its temperature resistance up to 120°C make the mechanic integration of the measuring head especially cost-efficient.
The intelligent LED display works optionally as alarm signal, target support, self-diagnosis or temperature-code display. The placement of electronic components within the cable allows for a high temperature resistance of the measuring head. It measures temperature in the range of -40°C to 1,030°C; the spectral range is 8 to 14 µm and the response time is 30 ms – 999 s. The unit can be optimally installed on cement pumps, mixer trucks and cement silos.
Infrared camera Optris PI 400
Optris’ PI 400 infrared camera is the smallest thermographic camera in its class. Being equipped with a measurement speed of 80 Hz and an optical resolution of 382 x 288 pixels, it offers real-time thermographic images in high speed.
The compact and high-performance infrared camera has a temperature range of -20°C up to 900°C, with an optional upgrade to 1,500°C. It can be delivered with exchangeable optics, industrial thermal imager equipment and it comes with an extensive license-free thermography software package.
Areas of application for the thermal imagers Optris PI 400
The Optris PI 400 is employed for a variety of tasks in industry. The real-time thermographic images prove especially valuable for surveillance and quality assurance in the automotive sector, plastics, and in the semi-conductor as well as photovoltaic industries.
Due to this type of thermographic cameras’ high resolution and the reaction speed, surveillance and measuring of manufacturing processes that include moving objects poses no problem. Possible areas of application are process automation of measurement in rotary kilns or measurement of large amounts on conveyor belts during batch processes.
The IR camera also plays an important role in medical diagnosis and prevention where it detects the slightest of temperature differences. It can even highlight veins under the skin due to its brilliant optical resolution of up to 40 mK.
Important Specifications
- Temperature range: -20°C to 900°C
- Spectral range: 7.5 to 13 µm
- Frame rate: 80 Hz
