MILFORD, Mass., Aug. 9, 2011 — Process Sensors Corp.’s newly released self-contained Metis HQ11/HQ22 two-color noncontact infrared temperature sensors capture 12,500 measurements per second with an 80-μs response time.
With a temperature span of 350 to 2500 °C, the thermometers are suitable for applications in high-speed ferrous and nonferrous metals processing, ceramics and semiconductors, as well as for demanding research and development environments where short-duration phenomena must be monitored. Target spot sizes of 0.5- to 23-mm-diameter are offered in the two models, using either standard focusable optics or focusable-lens fiber optics.
The devices also can be used as single-wavelength pyrometers. In the switchable single-wavelength mode, operators have the choice of obtaining output signals from shorter or longer wavelengths, or both, via analog and serial communication ports.
Operators also have a choice of three methods of optical alignment and focusing onto a target: through lens sighting, laser aiming or an integral color video camera for monitoring the target area in harsh or difficult-to-access locations. A peak picker function can be programmed to capture and hold the highest temperature measurement when targets are sporadically obscured by dust, steam or surface scale.
Switchable analog 0 to 20-mA/4- to 20-mA outputs connect with process control or data acquisition equipment. A fast digital RS-485, 921-kBd-maximum communications interface also is included. The free-of-charge PSCWin software facilitates setup of thermometer parameters and recording of data in graphical, text or tabular format.
