Infrared Temperature Measurement in
Steel Processing and Manufacturing
Major Applications
•
Continuous Casting • Reheating • Rolling Mills • Rod/Wire Mills • Forging Millsand controlling temperature is critical to productivity and product quality.
Temperature readings show whether processes are operating within their proper ranges, whether a reheater is too cold or too hot, whether a stand
needs adjusting, or how much cooling should be applied. Each stage can be accurately monitored so the steel retains correct metallurgical properties
as it travels through the milling process.
Every section of the steel manufacturing process
can benefit from Raytek infrared thermometers.
These benefits include the following:
• Higher quality products
• Increased productivity
• Reduced energy costs
• Enhanced worker safety
• Reduced downtime
• Easy data recording
Raytek infrared sensors take temperature
measurement one step further. Simultaneous analog and digital output allows
temperature data to be
integrated into a closed loop control system and simultaneously output for
remote temperature monitoring and analysis. Raytek smart sensors,
with digital electronics and 2-way communications, can be configured
remotely from the safety of the control room–especially important for
metals with changing emissivities. The result: increased functionality and
greater control. With over thirty years experience, Raytek knows
infrared temperature measurement. Our applications specialists are located
around the world to help answer your technical questions. Maintenance,
training, calibration, and other customized services are available to ensure
that you receive the maximum benefits from your Raytek infrared
thermometers.
