Patented Low Temperature Pyrometer Camera
The IST-Quadtek
®
Spyrometer

with its patented combina-
tion of a color video camera and a scanning pyrometer
gives the operator the ability to see process conditions
while measuring the temperature of virtually any area in the
eld of view. The M553 model is designed specically for
lower temperature environments of 427°C–1371°C (800°F–
2500°F). It is an ideal aid in controlling clinker coolers,
steel reheat furnaces, non-ferrous blast furnaces, casting
wheels and strip casting machines. The imaging pyrometer
takes the video image and the temperature information,
multiplexes it and sends it, via a single coaxial cable, to
the image processor in the control room and displays it on
a VGA monitor. On-screen temperature data is also acces-
sible through 4-20mA outputs, which can easily be inter-
faced to your control system.

Cement Clinker Coolers
Monitor the cooler for red rivers and upset
conditions. Optimize cooling patterns by
measuring clinker temperature on the rst
grate. Aids in reducing equipment breakdown
and refractory degradation. Obtain continuous
visual of clinker depth and reaction to grate
speed changes.
Copper Casting Wheels
Optimize metal ow to the casting mold while
monitoring from the control room. Measure
temperature of metal in casting spoons.
