ATEX infrared thermometer

Published:  22 June, 2018

Fluke_Process_Instruments.jpgFLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS reports it offers a dedicated, robust solution for monitoring Claus reactors during the recovery of elemental sulfur from process streams. In this setup, ATEX-certified infrared thermometers measure temperatures inside the furnace with short response times. Temperature control of the sulfur recovery process is vital since temperature variations can upset the chemical reaction. Conventionally, thermocouples are used for this application.

Such probes must be exchanged at very short intervals, because of the highly corrosive process gases, resulting in significant maintenance costs and downtime. To overcome this problem, thermocouples can be embedded in the refractory or fully shielded by an enclosure.

The tried-and-tested Fluke Process Instruments solution removes the thermocouple at 500 °C, before it can be damaged, and inserts a Raytek Thermalert TX pyrometer in the same opening.

  • Precise, repeatable temperature profiling 

    At the 2019 SMTconnect, FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS reports it will be presenting its new Datapaq DP5 data loggers for inline temperature profiling in reflow soldering processes. Launched at last year’s show, the profilers are now in serial production. The company says they will be showcased along with a comprehensive array of system components building on the established Datapaq Reflow Tracker program, which also comprises a dedicated software suite.

  • Temperature profiling in vacuum processes 

    At the SVTM vacuum technologies and materials treatment exhibition (Stand 96), FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS says it will present powerful temperature profiling systems based on robust Datapaq TP3 data loggers. Featuring up to 20 thermocouple channels and an outstanding 3.6 million data points memory, the loggers perform up to 10 consecutive measurement runs.

  • Temperature monitoring for metals and steel 

    FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS has announced it will present its range of thermal profilers and infrared temperature measurement solutions at the THERMPROCESS trade fair, Stand C73.

  • Cooling curve monitoring  

    Thermalert 4.0 spot pyrometers from FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS are said to enable precise monitoring of critical glass manufacturing processes such as annealing of glass bottles and containers. The noncontact infrared sensors measure product as well as belt temperatures. The company says that way, operators can ensure that the lehr is set correctly for products with different glass thicknesses and sizes, and that the transportation belt is heated correctly. The latter is especially important for glass containers with a thick bottom, to prevent uneven cooling and breakage. Continuous monitoring helps operators improve quality and uniformity and reduce reject rates. It also supports troubleshooting by detecting faulty burners under the transportation belt.

  • Two know more than one 

    Combining two devices using two different temperature measurement technologies, FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS says it provides the glass industry with more information on high-value applications like float glass manufacturing, glass tempering, and windshield forming and laminating.
