Thursday, June 9, 2022

Read our latest article in Glass International where we discuss our latest temperature monitoring system to help reduce failures and deterioration in glass furnace refractories.

AMETEK Land - Thermal Image"AMETEK Land’s latest monitoring system helps to reduce failures and deterioration in glass furnace refractories.

The LWIR-640 system monitors the exterior of the melt tank and identifies any hot areas that may indicate refractory damage. It also gives an early warning of potential glass breakouts.

This long-wavelength thermal imager provides a full temperature measurement range of -20 to 1000 °C (-4 to 1832 °F) in three ranges with a choice of different optics and lenses. It combines high-resolution radiometric camera technology with sophisticated data processing and powerful software support, delivering detailed thermal images."
