General Principles and Application of Infrared Thermometry
1. Iron and Steel Industry
Infrared thermometers enable continuous temperature measurement of regenerators and real-time monitoring of heater efficiency. By detecting temperatures on both sides of steel plates, uniform heating conditions can be verified, effectively improving overall product quality.
2. Glass Industry
Furnace temperature monitoring ensures consistent edge-to-edge temperature distribution and flat surface finish of glass products. This helps raise finished product yield, optimize process control, enhance product consistency and reduce equipment downtime.
3. Plastics Industry
In blown film extrusion, accurate temperature measurement guarantees tensile strength and uniform thickness of plastic materials. For lamination and embossing processes, infrared thermometers monitor film temperature and regulate heater operation.
4. Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration
Infrared thermometers are applied to scan ambient room temperature, inspect pipeline surface temperature, measure boiler temperature and evaluate boiler operating performance, as well as monitor air supply and return circuits.
5. Supermarkets and Food Processing Enterprises
The storage temperature of refrigerated foods shall be kept below 4.4℃; otherwise, food deterioration may occur. Infrared thermometers allow convenient and rapid temperature inspection for cold-chain food.
Other application fields include grain processing, aquatic product processing, alcoholic beverage manufacturing, inspection and quarantine departments, and other related industries.
