Raytek and Ircon provide a complete range of IR thermometers with IS and Ex certification, designed for accurate temperature investigation in all types of environments. Intrinsically safe models include portable units with temperature ranges from –32 to 900°C and fixed units with simple 2 wire loops and programmable ranges up to 2000°C.
High temperature thermocouple replacement has become an increased requirement due to rising prices in high temperature materials and non-contact infrared unit have proved to be a long lasting viable alternative for many sites. The popularity of infrared thermometers continues to grow because of use, reliability and affordability. Like traditional thermometers, IR unitss translate hot and cold into numeric measurements. However, unlike traditional methods, an IR thermometer does not require users to touch the object under measurement. The instrument is just pointed and the temperature read in the display.
Knowing the heat of an object is extremely useful, especially around liquids nearing their flash points, or on a process operating at a critical temperature. IR thermometers help process and maintenance engineers alike to check the plant quickly, giving them the information needed to assess the temperature and plan the most effective solution.
In addition, portable IR thermometers are available with logging features so temperatures can be stored and retrieved later, ideal for record keeping or report backs.
