Noncontact temperature measurement is a key process metric in many industries, but there are many factors that influence accurate temperature measurement from a pyrometer. Here we look at the common influences on inaccurate temperature measurement.

Suited for applications where the temperature across an object is crucial, ISR 6-TI Advanced combines an infrared pyrometer with infrared imaging capabilities.

The stand-alone PSC-SR56N Series delivers high-resolution fixed optics with small spot sizes, digital RS485 communication interface, analog 4 to 20mA output and fast speed of response.

This article will detail the differences between the types of infrared pyrometers as well as the applications and proper use of each.

Sirius SI23, with laser sighting, delivers high-resolution fixed focus optics with small spot size, digital RS232 or RS485 communication interfaces, analog 4-20 mA output, and very fast (5ms) speed of response.

Control of billet temperature is a key factor in hot forging processes.
