The Optris CT G5 pyrometer is expertly designed for precise temperature measurement in glass-related applications. The pyrometers two-piece sensor design, which includes a separate electronic box with programming keys and a display, ensures user-friendly operation and accurate temperature readings across a range of 100 °C to 1650 °C. Ideal for vehicle and flat glass manufacturing processes, the CT G5 delivers reliable and accurate temperature measurements to meet diverse industrial needs.
In non-contact stationary infrared temperature measurement, ensuring accuracy requires careful consideration of emissivity, which depends on material properties, surface characteristics, wavelength, measuring angle, and the measuring setup. For example, uncoated glass typically exhibits an emissivity of 0.85 in the longwave range (8 μm – 14 μm). However, in high-temperature processes such as glass production, using wavelengths of 5.0 μm or 7.9 μm is preferred due to their higher emissivity values (≥0.95) in those spectral ranges. Wavelength selection is crucial for effectively measuring the glass surface and deeper layers, with 1.0 μm, 2.2 μm, or 3.9 μm suitable for deeper layers, and 5.0 μm recommended for surface measurements. For lower temperatures, wavelengths between 8 μm and 14 μm and an emissivity of 0.85 help mitigate reflection effects.
The Optris CT G5, with its specialized spectral range of 5.0 µm, is a versatile tool for measuring glass temperatures in various industrial processes. The infrared thermometer is suitable for container glass production, vehicle glass manufacturing, and solar cell production, delivering reliable temperature data.
