Application Report Tube Rolling Mill
Pyrometers have proven their worth for measuring the temperature during piercing, stretching and finish rolling. They measure the infrared radiation of the objects and calculate the temperature according to the Planck’s law of radiation. The radiation is measured contactless from a safe distance and without destroying the workpiece. The temperature is recorded in a few milliseconds and serves as a monitoring and control variable for the heating and rolling process.
To avoid the interference of scale and oxide, the pyrometers have a CSD (Clean Surface Detection) function. In combination with a high-resolution lens and a very short measuring time, the true temperatures are filtered out of the scale- and oxide-free surface.

Features

Application report Rolling stand
To determine the slab temperature, optical pyrometers are used, which measure the infrared radiation of the object without contact from a safe distance and determine the temperature from this. At the relevant measuring points, there is a risk of strong water vapor and smoke in the pyrometer's field of view. In order to nevertheless reliably measure the temperature, ratio pyrometers are used.
The ratio measuring method compensates for such interfering influences and indicates the correct temperature even if the infrared radiation is weakened by intermediate media.

Temperature-controlled rolling is the prerequisite for achieving the desired material properties while at the same time maximizing efficiency in billet production. In order to be able to ensure today's high demands, modern measuring methods and measuring systems suitable for the respective measuring points are required.
Pyrometers have proven themselves for the temperature measurement of billets and bars. The measurement is carried out optically and without contact and thus from a safe distance and non-destructively for the workpiece.

Application report metal strips
Measuring metal sheets at low temperatures is a challenging measurement task for non-contact temperature measurement due to the very low thermal radiation and the special radiation properties of metals. For object temperatures from approx. 75 °C, short-wave measuring devices can be used. However, these devices react sensitively to interference from artificial light or sunlight up to approx. 150 °C object temperature. For reliable measurement at low temperatures, measures to shade out the external radiation of daylight are therefore necessary.

- Wear-free and maintenance-free pyrometers based on constant light technology
- Patented measuring method for the detection of the smallest infrared radiation
