A new range of rugged foundry pyrometers
Sterling Sensors is adding portable foundry pyrometers to its range. The rugged battery-powered digital instruments are designed to measure the temperature of both ferrous and non-ferrous molten metals up to 1800degC. The DPP is manufactured in the UK and provides a safe and convenient portable measuring device. Housed in a tough, lightweight aluminium case it is suitable for use in foundries, metal processing and recycling plants, or environments where extreme temperatures need to be measured.
With a single-button operation the instrument searches, holds and displays the peak stable temperature on a 4-digit red LED display. Sequence indicating lights keep the operator informed of progress throughout the measurement process. Instruments can be ranged to use type B, K, N, R or S thermocouples in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Type B, R and S units are commonly used in ferrous metals and are supplied with a connector for use with plug-in expendable thermocouples. Type K and N pyrometers are ranged for use in non-ferrous metals and can be supplied for use with disposable fast-response thermocouples or more durable swaged thermocouple elements.
