Technical details and manufacturing context for Infrared Pyrometer
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature RangeRequired | 0–3000 °C | Operational temperature measurement range |
| Emissivity Setting | 0.10–1.00 ratio | 0.10–1.00 — Adjustable in 0.01 increments; accuracy of setting ±0.02. |
| Field of View | 10:1–100:1 D:S ratio | 10:1–100:1 — Distance to spot size ratio; select based on target size and distance. |
| Response TimeRequired | 1–500 ms | 1–500 — Adjustable; 90% of final value. Faster for moving targets, slower for averaging. |
| Spectral ResponseRequired | 0.8–1.1 or 8–14 μm | 0.8–1.1 or 8–14 — Short wavelength for metals, long wavelength for non-metals; specify application. |
| Accuracy | ±0.5% of reading or ±1°C (whichever greater) | ±0.5% of reading or ±1°C (whichever greater) — At ambient 23°C, emissivity 1.0, and blackbody source.ASTM E1256 |
| Repeatability | ±0.1% of reading or ±0.5°C (whichever greater) | ±0.1% of reading or ±0.5°C (whichever greater) — For constant conditions. |
| Materials of Construction | Housing: 316L stainless steel; Lens: Germanium (Ge) or Silicon (Si); Heat sink: Aluminum 6061-T6 | Housing: 316L stainless steel; Lens: Germanium (Ge) or Silicon (Si); Heat sink: Aluminum 6061-T6 — Lens material depends on spectral range; Ge for 8–14 μm, Si for 0.8–1.1 μm. |
| Ambient Temperature Range | -20–+70 °C | -20 to +70 — Without cooling; with air/water cooling up to 200°C ambient. |
| Protection Rating | IP65 (standard), IP67 (optional) | IP65 (standard), IP67 (optional) — IP65 for dusty/humid, IP67 for washdown.IEC 60529 |
| Output Signal | 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RS485, Ethernet | 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RS485, Ethernet — Analog and digital options; specify required interface. |
| Power Supply | 24 VDC (18–36 VDC) V | 24 VDC (18–36 VDC) — Reverse polarity protected. |
| Duty Cycle | Continuous | Continuous — Designed for 24/7 operation. |
| Service Life | ≥50,000 hours (MTBF) h | ≥50,000 hours (MTBF) — Under rated conditions. |
| Ambient temperature | -20–+70 °C | -20 to +70 °C — Outside this window: Above 70°C without cooling: electronics may overheat, causing drift or failure. Below -20°C: LCD may freeze, response time increases. |
| Relative humidity | 0–95% non-condensing | 0–95% non-condensing — Outside this window: Condensation on lens causes erroneous readings; internal corrosion if seals fail. |
| Vibration | ≤5 g (10–500 Hz) | ≤5 g (10–500 Hz) — Outside this window: Excessive vibration may misalign optics, causing spot size error or mechanical failure. |
| Atmospheric pressure | Atmospheric (80–110 kPa) | Atmospheric (80–110 kPa) — Outside this window: Not rated for vacuum or high pressure; housing may deform, seals leak. |
| Target emissivity | 0.10–1.00 | 0.10–1.00 — Outside this window: If emissivity set incorrectly, temperature reading error up to 50% for low emissivity targets. |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The temperature range is specified as 0–3000 °C, but the actual range depends on the model and application. For example, 0–500 °C for low-temperature processes and 500–3000 °C for high-temperature processes. Always verify the specific range with the manufacturer or supplier.
Emissivity is adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00 in 0.01 increments. If set incorrectly, temperature readings can have errors up to 50% for low-emissivity targets. It is crucial to set the emissivity to match the target material's emissivity for accurate measurements.
The pyrometer offers analog and digital output options: 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RS485, and Ethernet. The required interface should be specified when ordering. Verify compatibility with your control system.
The standard protection rating is IP65, with IP67 optional, per IEC 60529. The ambient temperature range is -20 to +70 °C without cooling; with air or water cooling, it can operate up to 200 °C ambient. Confirm the cooling requirements for your environment.
