Accurate temperature measurements are not just important; they are crucial, especially in hot manufacturing processes. The Optris CT 2M pyrometer, with its short-wavelength technology, exemplifies precision. Insensitive to emissivity variation and boasting high optical resolution, this infrared temperature sensor ensures consistent and reliable performance, particularly in hot metal processing applications. The Optris CT 2M pyrometer comes in different variants designed to accurately measure temperatures ranging from 250 °C to 2000 °C, catering to various temperature ranges: 2ML (250 °C…800 °C), 2MH (385 °C…1600 °C), and 2MH1 (490 °C…2000 °C). Equipped with an InGaAs detector with a specialized spectral range of around 1.6 µm, the infrared sensor accurately measures temperatures in hot metal applications, including steel, tungsten, iron, nickel, and semiconductors. With a distance-to-spot size ratio of up to 75:1, the CT 2M ensures precise temperature measurements even from a distance. The pyrometers compact infrared measuring head facilitates easy installation in confined spaces, enabling cost-effective mechanical integration. Its temperature resistance of up to 125 °C makes the pyrometer suitable for heavy machinery integration, while its rapid response time of just 1 ms allows monitoring of fast processes. To address potential deviations when measuring metallic targets, engineers should prioritize wavelength selection alongside calibration accuracy, optics quality, and temperature range, considering factors like emissivity changes, reflections, and misalignment.
