Measuring the temperature of molten metal is an important task in the metallurgical industry, which ensures the quality of products and the safety of production processes. There are several types of devices designed specifically for this purpose. In this article, we will look at the different types of devices for measuring the temperature of molten metal.
Pyrometers: Pyrometers are one of the most common devices for measuring the temperature of molten metal. They work on the principle of measuring thermal radiation, which is ideal for monitoring high temperatures. Pyrometers can be non-contact or contact, and they provide high accuracy and reliability of measurements.
Thermocouples: Thermocouples are devices consisting of two different metal conductors connected at one end. They can measure the temperature of molten metal by measuring the potential difference between the two conductors. Thermocouples are widely used due to their simplicity, reliability and wide range of operating temperatures.
Thermistors: Thermistors are devices that change their resistance depending on the temperature. The most common type of thermistor is the platinum thermistor (PT100), which has high accuracy and stability when measuring the temperature of metal melts.
Optical pyrometers: Optical pyrometers are specialized devices that use laser radiation to measure the temperature of molten metal. They provide accurate and reliable data without the need for contact with the melt, which makes them safe and effective to use.
Thermographs: Thermographs are devices that record temperature changes over time. They allow you to monitor the processes occurring with molten metal in real time and provide the ability to analyze and optimize production processes.
Infrared thermometers: Infrared thermometers are devices that measure temperature using infrared radiation. They allow you to safely and quickly measure the temperature of molten metal without getting dangerously close to it.
