Annealing requires a metal to be heated above its recrystallisation temperature, increasing its ductility and reducing its hardness to make it more workable. Temperature measurements ensure the correct temperatures are attained at each stage of the process to achieve the desired properties.
By providing accurate temperature measurements, the
SPOT thermometer ensures the metal is heated to the correct level for annealing. It also supports process efficiency by increasing fuel economy and preventing overheating.
The MWIR-B-640 enables a continuous and clear view, even through heavy smoke and hot furnace atmospheres, which is not possible with visual furnace camera systems. With a clear view through smoke and furnace gases, the MWIR-B-640 allows highly accurate and fully radiometric temperature measurement image data to be taken, stored, and trended over the lifetime of the furnace/boiler.
