Read our latest article in Furnaces International, where Neil Simpson discusses the future of furnaces.
"Optical pyrometers have been the temperature measurement instrument of choice for high-temperature combustion processes for more than a century. In many of these processes, temperatures are taken using an optical pyrometer at least once per shift, and sometimes every 20 minutes on a regenerative furnace.
Whenever a process-related problem occurs, a portable pyrometer such as the industry-standard AMETEK Land Cyclops L is used to check temperatures at critical points in the furnace or kiln. Thirty years ago, when a 2D model-based steel reheat control system was commissioned, there was only one fixed location pyrometer on a furnace."
