Pyrometer
A pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer that can measure the temperature of various objects from a distance. It is particularly advantageous in the industry, where objects are often handled that make it impossible to use normal, contact-based temperature measurement.
How does a pyrometer work?
A pyrometer is also known as an infrared thermometer. The pyrometer works by emitting heat as electromagnetic radiation or light, and it is this light that a lens in the pyrometer can capture. The measured energy is then sent to a detector, where it is converted into an electrical signal, which is displayed as a temperature unit for the user.

Get accurate temperature measurement with a pyrometer
There are many advantages to using a pyrometer for temperature measurement. The non-contact, infrared technology provides a faster and more accurate measurement compared to other technologies within thermocouples, ensuring product quality in a wide range of industries.
Because a pyrometer can measure moving objects, you can measure the temperature of materials throughout the production process, helping to comply with quality assurance schemes, ensuring that all materials used are within the given specifications. This is especially important in, for example, asphalt production, where the temperature of the materials greatly influences the finished product.
It can also help increase production speed, as the precise measurements help minimize waste of productions that cannot be used.
The non-contact method, which ensures that the pyrometer never comes into contact with materials, also helps avoid damage and wear on the thermometer, which can otherwise lead to constant replacement or repair.
