IR Thermometer Incorporates Twin Laser Identification Of Target Spot Location At Any Distance

With an overall size of only 4” (100mm) long x 2.2” (55mm) dia., Process Sensors’ latest addition to their family of compact, non-contact, on-line temperature sensors features dual, converging lasers that brightly illuminate the exact location of the target spot at any distance from the lens. This feature greatly simplifies sensor aiming, and eliminates ambiguity that could result in error readings.

Infrared Windows - How Important is Transmissivity?

A 55 minute tutorial by Joe DeMonte of TEGG

If a thermographer does not properly calibrate their camera to compensate for transmission attenuation the results could be catastrophic misdiagnosis. But what if the thermographer does not know the transmission rate of the IR window? What if the transmission rate is variable or changing? Thermographers and anyone associated with or managing an electrical preventive maintenance program need to fully understand how this issue could affect their program if not controlled and compensated for.

Join Joe DeMonte of TEGG for a 60 minute recording of a Reliability Roadmap Web Workshop.

How Used Oil Analysis Should Be

How Used Oil Analysis Should Be

The typical used oil analysis sample takes 7-10 days, start to finish, before the results cross your desk. Many times, at risk equipment is overlooked and becomes useless because of unnecessary downtime. Why? The length of time involved and inefficiencies of the entire oil analysis management process. Not necessarily because of poor service from a vendor, or shipping company. But because oil analysis business methods do not maximize the use of current technologies to improve upon the users' experience.

New Line of Infrared Products introduced by Process Sensors Corporation

Process Sensors Corporation has just introduced a new line of high accuracy, precision infrared pyrometers. The Metis Series utilizes a short wavelength, which minimizes the effects of emissivity changes. These low temperature models are ideal for measuring the temperature of metals and composites. Model MP23 with a Spectral Response of 2 to 2.6μm has a temperature range of 130 to 700°C and the MP25 with a Spectral Response of 2 to 2.8μm measures temperatures from 75°C to 1300°C.
