Instrotech has announced the availability of the Optris CSmicro LT pyrometer, specifically for application in the measurement and control of temperature in cement manufacture.
Temperature is a critically importance component in the process of making of concrete, and specifically, the importance of controlling the temperature before the concrete is poured. Optimal temperature of the concrete must fall within the range of +5°C and +55°C, a factor which greatly influences the final characteristics and performance (cracking, resistance and wear and tear). Concrete temperature is directly related to the development of strength and fresh concrete can be damaged when exposed to very low or very high temperatures.
Key factors to control during the pouring of concrete related to temperature:
* Warm weather affects speed limits evaporation.
* Cold weather inhibits the hydration process.
Optris’ CSmicro LT is equipped with an innovative, miniaturised stainless steel measuring head optimally suited for installation in limited spaces. Its small size and its temperature resistance up to 120°C make the mechanic integration of the measuring head especially cost-efficient.
The intelligent LED display works optionally as alarm signal, target support, self-diagnosis or temperature-code display. The placement of electronic components within the cable allows for a high temperature resistance of the measuring head. It measures temperature in the range of -40 to 1030°C; the spectral range is 8 to 14 μm and the response time is 30 ms - 999 s. The unit can be optimally installed on cement pumps, mixer trucks and cement silos.
