PR450504 - An extension to Land’s MF3 on-line infrared radiation thermometer series of infrared thermometers, the new models have outputs that match the voltage/temperature correlations of Type J and Type K thermocouples so that they can be used without changing the calibration of downstream processing.
They are intended for industrial applications where thermocouples – and their attendant disadvantages – are still commonplace, including the manufacture of products as diverse as plastics, rubber, timber, paper, textiles, paint, lacquer, liquids and food.
Overall measurement range is 0 to 500°C, with an accuracy of +/-1.5% at an ambient 23°C, a response time of 300ms and repeatability of +/-1%.
With dimensions of only 18.6mm diameter x 118mm, the MF3 on-line infrared radiation thermometer range is compact in both size and price, offering a good all-round performance with fixed emissivity compensation and a 5:1 field of view suitable for targets with a typical diameter of 60mm at a 300mm sighting distance.
Each MF3 on-line infrared radiation thermometer is housed in a rugged stainless steel body and supplied complete with a 1m pre-wired cable for simple connection into existing systems without configuration or technical input from the manufacturer.
Dedicated mountings and accessories include a water-cooled jacket for environments up to 80°C and situations where the sides of the thermometer are subject to significant radiated energy.
