New Pyrometer from IMPAC for aluminium
industries
Temperature measurement using infrared pyrometers in the aluminium industry has always been problematic due to the physical properties of the material: now a new pyrometer is introduced by IMPAC
Temperature measurement using infrared pyrometers in the aluminium industry has always been problematic due to the physical properties of the material Many exotic solutions, including multi wavelength instruments have been developed in an effort to overcome the difficulties caused by these material properties, mostly resulting in extremely complex and high cost instruments

New Series 140 Infrared Pyrometers from IMPAC
The new Series 140 is the latest development in the extensive range of digital pyrometers from Impac, with temperature measurement from 50 to 3500C and target sizes as small as 0.25mm
IMPAC Infrared has developed a new pyrometer based on the well-proven IS 10 model, specifically for the measurement of aluminium.
Working at a wavelength where the material emissivity is both stable and relatively high in value (30 to 43%) the new IS 10-Al is suitable for aluminium applications such as: extrusion, rolling and billet heating.
Using the IS 10-Al temperatures as low as 350C can be measured and with a range of lens, spot sizes down to 2.2 mm can be achieved at speeds as fast as 8m/sec.
Alignment on to the target can be done by thru-lens sighting or by a laser targeting light.
The IS 10-Al is a fully digital pyrometer ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.
The pyrometer can be quickly and easily configured by the user either at the pyrometer or remotely using the RS 232/485 serial interface and the Infrawin Pyrometer Software.
The IS 10-Al pyrometer is a step forward in temperature measurement for the aluminium industry and comes from one of the market leaders in the manufacture of infrared pyrometers.
