Frequently asked questions
In what temperature range can pyrometers measure?
KELLER pyrometers measure temperatures from -30 to 3,500 °C, making them suitable for both low and high-temperature applications. Due to the limitations of thermal or photoelectric detectors, specific temperature ranges are covered by different pyrometer models. For example:
- Compact pyrometer PKL 11 from 0 to 1,000 °C
- Universal pyrometer PX 20 from 210 to 2,000 °C
- Portable pyrometer PT 135 from 600 to 3,500 °C
What are the advantages of pyrometers compared to alternative measuring devices?
- Wear-free temperature measurement even of moving targets
- Fast response times from 2 ms
- Reliable measurements in severe industrial environments
- Measurement of temperatures up to 3,500 °C
- Large and continuous measuring ranges, for example from 210 to 2,000 °C
Which pyrometers reliably measure temperatures in industrial environments?
Our pyrometers are specifically designed for industrial applications. To ensure reliable measurements in harsh industrial environments, the infrared measuring devices have a stainless steel housing with IP65 protection, a robust lens and shielded connection cables. Protection and mounting combinations are also available, including cooling housings for applications with increased ambient temperatures. The long service life and precise temperature measurement of our infrared measuring devices is guaranteed by long-term stable electronics and no built-in moving parts.
What is the difference between single-channel and ratio pyrometers?
Two-colour pyrometers display the temperature of grey body radiation correctly, regardless of the emissivity of the target. Two-colour pyrometers are less sensitive to emissivity variations due to dust, vapour or smoke in the field of view or dirty inspection glasses than one-colour pyrometers, and can provide more accurate measurements in challenging environments. Single-channel pyrometers, on the other hand, can also detect very low temperatures from -30 °C and are generally more cost-effective than two-colour pyrometers.
