IR CAST 2C+

Temperature Range: 700°C to 1700°C

Highly Accurate Focusable Two Color Online Infrared Non-Contact Pyrometer with Rectangular FOV for Casting Application

IR-CAST 2C+ is a highly accurate focusable digital two colour Rectangular measuring field IR pyrometer for non contact temperature measurement specially used in foundries for molten metal. The Pyrometer measures the temperature of an object by calculating the ratio of the energies at two different wavelength bands. The ratio technique eliminates and reduces errors in temperature measurement caused by factors such as dust, vapour or smoke etc.
