Reliable IR temperature measurement in extreme conditions
 
optris CTratio 1M sensorOptris GmbH: The ratio pyrometer optris CTratio 1M is designed for non-contact measurement of temperatures in the range between 700°C and 1800°C. Its functional principle guarantees precise measurements even when the field of view is severely occluded, for example by fumes. This makes it highly useful for applications in harsh environments as they prevail in the metal and glass industries. With the CTratio 1M, Optris has added a ratio pyrometer with fibre optic cable to its high-performance series. The measuring instrument is used especially in ambient temperatures up to 250°C where the measuring head requires no cooling. In contrast to traditional connections, the optical multi-fibre cables used here comprise multiple interwoven glass fibres. This makes the fibre highly break-resistant, so that the pyrometer can be installed in difficult-to-access areas and maze-like production environments. Cables are deliverable in lengths up to 22 m to cover the majority of installation scenarios. Other advantages are the very fast response time of 5 ms and an integrated laser sight to mark the actual spot size. ...

Heimann Sensor introduces new thermopile infrared sensors of the HMS series with integrated lens
 
Heimann Sensor is manufacturing thermopile sensors in TO packages for many years. The HMS series features several chip sizes in combination with various optical filters in housing size “TO46” or even smaller. Since the packages are small and the filter windows are in close distance to the sensor chip these sensors normally have a large field of view. But for some applications, like for example a forehead thermometer, it would be of advantage to have a small and well defined field of view. Heimann Sensor solved this problem by replacing the filter window with a diffractive silicon lens. These silicon lenses are manufactured on wafer level by Heimann Sensor and can be coated with different infrared LWP coatings. The cap design had to be adjusted so that the cap height matches the focal length of the lens. Again different chip types can be combined with lenses with different coatings. ...

No tool is required for connecting the wire or braid with ferrule and the wiring is secure. In this manner, the costs and time required for connection is considerably reduced compared to the use of a conventional screw terminal. ...


Handy and ingenious temperature plug from ifm electronic
 
ifm electronic gmbh: Every so often an idea comes along that makes you think ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ or ‘why has nobody done that before?’ Well just such an idea is the ingeniously simple new TP temperature transmitter from sensor market leader ifm electronic Ltd. Common usage dictates that Pt temperature probes are connected to a "head transmitter" to transfer the signal; but in this day and age that is outmoded. The TP temperature plug from ifm replaces cumbersome, leaky outmoded boxes with the latest in electronics and connector technology, requiring a lot less space, performing better and costing less into the bargain. ifm electronic already supplies type TT or TS Pt 100 and Pt1000 temperature pickups with an integral M12 connector not only for ease of connection, but also a seal of at least IP67 and a robust mechanical link. That probe can now be plugged directly into the TP, which will send the resulting measurement as a 4-20mA signal back to the panel, via another M12 sealed connector. Further, using M12 connectors all round means that the transmitter can actually be mounted anywhere between the probe ...

Function tests of assembled circuit boards using IR temperature measurement
 
Optris GmbH: More and more manufacturer of electronic components and circuit boards turn to the use of non-contact temperature measurement due to the increasing productivity of their components. The thermal behaviour can be captured and optimised through the use of modern infrared measurement devices – without influencing the measuring object. Infrared cameras are used for accurate thermal analysis at electronically components, e.g. in cases where not only one critical component exists or the component can not be clearly defi ned. Weak points can be localised by the camera through the demonstration of thermal images. A detailed real time analysis of the thermal behaviour of assembled circuit boards, used in the F&E field or for serial production, can be achieved through the assistance of an infrared thermal imager. The standardized USB2.0 interface allows video recording of 120 Hz. This is extremely advantageous for thermal activities which only emerge on short terms and need to be analyzed in slow motion ...


Rethinking Maintenance Procedures Using IR Thermometers
 
Optris GmbH: Noncontact temperature monitoring is an essential tool for ensuring the safety and reliability of equipment.

Ratio pyrometer for hot applications
 
Measurement technology company Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of temperature sensors with a new ratio pyrometer. The new thermoMETER CT ratio will be on display at the SPS|IPC|DRIVES exhibition in Nürnberg. The sensor is a non-contact temperature sensor, which is only dependent on the emissivity ratio but not on the absolute emissivity. The sensor measures by using two short wavelengths close to each other and forms a ratio from this. The emissivity of the target is therefore no longer required for measurements. A faultless measurement is also possible even in the case of a 95% weakening of the IR radiation due to smoke or steam. The sensor provides a measuring range of 700°C to 1,800°C at a maximum ambient temperature of 250°C without cooling and is primarily used in metal processing applications. The sensor electronics unit enables connection to Profibus, Ethernet, USB, RS232 or RS485. The thermoMETER CT ratio operates with an optical fibre between sensor and electronics. Therefore, electromagnetic radiation has no influence on the sensor. A sighting laser is projected onto the target by the lens of the sensor; this enables constant mapping of the real measuring spot size. The standard focus of the lens is at a distance of 60mm. Using an additional, variable focussing lens, the user can set the focus point between 65mm and 300mm. The pyrometer can be used as a standard single-channel IR sensor or as a ratio pyrometer. ...


Rugged Pressure and Temperature Switches for Nuclear Power Stations
 
With the series ZPN, ZDPN and ZT, Baumer offers very robust pressure and temperature switches developed especially for the use in nuclear power stations. The pressure switches are suitable for pneumatic or hydraulic control, for power generation safety equipments and for pressurized chambers control. They are resistant to short duration overpressure and show a good vibration resistance. The ZPN can measure a gauge pressure from -1 bar up to 600 bar with a very small intermediate range from -2 mbar up to 10 mbar. The ZDPN measures a differential pressure from 2 mbar up to 120 bar. The pressure switches maintain a constant pressure around a chosen set value. When the pressure reaches a critical pre-set value, they trigger an alarm or safety system. A flexible diaphragm actuates a micro-switch via a piston. The set point adjustment is realised via a compressible spring mounted on the opposite. Due to the force-balance principle, the dead band setting remains constant, even with different set point adjustments. With rapid pressure variations, an attenuator should be used to prevent a temporary on- and off-switching. The ZT temperature switches are suitable for ...

Three common kitchen ingredients were heated over a fire and when dried and burned gave a loud bang. Inserting this into a bamboo stick led to early fire crackers. Today the field of pyrotechnics is developing rapidly and China is recognized as the number one producer of quality fireworks, in terms of technology. There is a huge market in China, since fireworks play a crucial role in ritual and festivities, but also as a major exporter. One leader in the Chinese fireworks industry, recently had their products tested with the DaqPRO solution by the China National Key Laboratory for pyrotechnic testing. This official body is situated in Hunan province and plays a key role in defining national safety standards in manufacture, acceptance checks, sales, transportation, storage and launching of fireworks. To ensure safer and more environmentally-friendly offerings and meet safety regulations both at home and abroad, the company takes quality inspection very seriously. They were looking for a solution that would maintain their product's high quality reputation. They considered the DaqPRO to be the answer. The independent data acquisition solution could stand alone in extreme testing conditions and allowed for the measurement of very high temperatures via the type T thermocouple sensor which can measure up to 400 degrees centigrade. One or more heat flux sensors are ...

DataNet Network for Government Monitored Umbilical Cord Blood Lab
 
Fourier Systems Ltd.: The DataNet system application is an umbilical cord laboratory where cord blood stem cell research is carried out and cord blood is stored. The Taiwanese government requires daily reports on the laboratory's deep cold refrigerators and room humidity and temperature environment status. To meet the government requirements they needed a computerized solution that could measure and produce printed reports via the lab computer system. The lab decided that the DataNet solution features were most appropriate in helping them respond to Ministry of Health's strict regulations. Umbilical cord blood is considered a key resource in stem cell research. Until recently umbilical cord blood was considered medical waste to be disposed of after the birth of a newborn, however today medical perceptions have dramatically changed. Today umbilical cord blood and the plentiful cryopreservation of the stem cells found in the cord blood are considered life saving. Umbilical cord blood is a 100 percent biological match to the newborn. Commonly the blood is now used in stem research and stored in specialized cord blood banks. These specimens perform two potentially valuable functions. They can help future patients in need of stem cell transplants or act as a private source for the newborn child and their family. A simple network has been applied and utilizes five DNL920 loggers, one DNL910 and one Receiver. The external PT100 temperature sensor measures room temperature and the internal RH sensor monitors humidity inside the laboratory. Additional sensors including thermocouple temperature sensors, with a range as low as -80º C, are used to ...
