Request InfoOptris GmbHThe CTratio 1M and 2M ratio pyrometers from Optris GmbH provide reliable temperature measurement in metallurgy from 250° C. The 2M model, with spectral sensitivity from 1.45 to 1.75 μm, allows measurements to be made from as low as 250° C. New calibration methods allow measurements up to 3000° C. With a measurement error of 0.5% and an adjusting time of 1ms, fast processes can be monitored. Its targeting laser features a wavelength of 250 nm.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra June 2023 IssueRatio PyrometersThe CSvision series of ratio pyrometers from Optris Infrared Sensing LLC measures the temperature of metals, melts, or ceramics in a safe, noncontact fashion from different distances.
