| New rugged infrared thermometer from Land Instruments The new RT8A infrared thermometer from Land Instruments International is sturdily built to withstand the rigours of measuring the temperature of moving materials, webs or inaccessible objects without contact in hostile production environments. Measuring product temperature in this way can improve quality, conserve energy, and optimise production rates without contaminating, damaging or interfering with the process or material. Encompassing four models covering operating temperatures from 0 to 500°C, the two wire stand-alone RT8A range of infrared thermometers is suitable for a wide variety of primary OEM and end-user applications in industries as diverse as asphalt, mineral processing, glass, food, paper, converting, plastics, printing and textiles. The protection afforded by the robust, IP65/NEMA 4X rated housing can be supplemented by optional cooling and lens purging facilities when required. A comprehensive choice of mounting and protection accessories from the System 4 range makes it easy to install the thermometer at the optimum point in the process. RT8A thermometers are designed to be integrated directly into a simple two-wire 4 to 20mA current loop for measuring, monitoring or control purposes. Accurate, reliable and stable temperature measurement is assured by the RT8A's response time, which is adjustable from 1 to 10s; accuracy within<0.5% of span; and minimal drift with change in ambient temperature of<1.5°C per 10°C. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
