Using Transportable NIR-B-2K Imager for Thermal Surveys and Combustion Optimisation to Reduce Energy

Wednesday, October 19, 2022 | Philippe Kerbois

Products

In this blog, I will explain how the NIR-B-2K thermal imager could be used as a transportable device to reinforce thermal optimisation of furnaces and in-furnace thermal glass surveys that provide essential insights into thermal processes to reduce energy and emissions.

How to Measure Low Temperatures on Shiny Metal Surfaces

Monday, October 17, 2022 | Manfred Hayk

Products

To measure the temperature of shiny metal surfaces, such as metal strips, using non-contact infrared temperature measurement methods, like pyrometers, IR-scanner or thermal imagers, several parameters need to put into consideration to get the most accurate temperature reading in the process.

What is Background Radiation? And Why is it Important to Compensate for it?

Wednesday, September 14, 2022 | Manfred Hayk

Products

During discussions on thermal imaging of large furnaces/fired heaters, I get a lot of questions about the accuracy of thermal imaging cameras when measuring tube metal temperatures (TMTs). The answer is not quite as simple as some would like.
