  • A New Pyrometer for the True Temperature Measurement of Aluminium Billet and Bar in Forging Process
    A NEW PYROMETER FOR THE TRUE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT OF ALUMINIUM BILLET AND BAR IN FORGING PROCESS Prepared by: Boris Shtarker and Ofer Yoely Introduction Temperature control plays an important role in any hot-working operation. Contact methods of measurement are often difficult as the probes tends to wear and maintenance of the probes can be time consuming and expensive. Non-contact measurement using infrared sensors has been tried many times but with only limited success on aluminum because of the low and variable emissivity. The 3T company in Israel has successfully developed an infra-red temperature measurement system that uses several different wavelengths and complex algorithms to accurately measure the temperature in the extrusion, forging, hot- rolling and casting of aluminum alloys. The P3000 pyrometer joins the family of innovative products that have been developed by 3T - True Temperature Technologies for use in the aluminum forging industry. Accurate measurement of aluminum parts during forging process is vital to ensure quality product. It is well established that even minor changes in the billet temperature can cause deterioration in the mechanical properties of the forged part, by creating internal stresses and deformations. For that reason, AUTOMOTIVE PARTS MANUFACTURERS demand accurate measurement of each forged billet coming in and out the press. Due to long response time of contact probe, and frequent probe tip maintenance, measurement with thermocouple is not applicable - a few seconds for each measurement will be very expensive in mass production.

In infrared thermography, this feature is used for multiple purposes: as a health indicator in medical applications, as a sign of malfunction in mechanical and electrical maintenance or as an indicator of heat loss in buildings. This paper presents a review of infrared thermography especially focused on two applications: temperature measurement and non-destructive testing, two of the main fields where infrared thermography-based sensors are used. A general introduction to infrared thermography and the common procedures for temperature measurement and non-destructive testing are presented. Furthermore, developments in these fields and recent advances are reviewed.

    International Journal of Turbomachinery Propulsion and Power Article y Towards an Ultra-High-Speed Combustion Pyrometer Alberto Sposito, Dave Lowe and Gavin Sutton * National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Hampton Road, Teddington TW11 0LW, UK; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (D.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] This paper was presented at the 9th EVI-GTI International Gas Turbine Instrumentation Conference, Graz, y Austria on 20–21 November 2019. Received: 2 March 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 15 December 2020 Abstract: Measuring reliably the correct temperature of a sooty flame in an internal combustion engine is important to optimise its efficiency; however, conventional contact thermometers, such as thermocouples, are not adequate in this context, due to drift, temperature limitation ( 2100 K) and ≤ slow response time (~10 ms). In this paper, we report on the progress towards the development of a novel ultra-high-speed combustion pyrometer, based on collection of thermal radiation via an optical fibre, traceably calibrated to the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) over the temperature range T = (1073–2873) K, with residuals <1%, and capable of measuring at a sampling rate of 250 kHz. Keywords: combustion; temperature; pyrometer; optical sensor 1. Introduction Traceable, reliable measurement of combustion temperature is important because it can improve the understanding of the combustion process and provide a mechanism for the optimisation of engine power, fuel consumption and emissions [1]. These measurements are performed under highly dynamic conditions, with temperature changes of up to ~3300 K occurring on a millisecond timescale. Conventional temperature sensors based on contact thermometry (e.g., thermocouples) are inadequate in this context, due to their slow response time (~10 ms), temperature limitation ( 2100 K), drift and ≤ perturbation of the combustion process.

  • Infrared Temperature and Emissivity Measurement
    Real Time Emissivity Measurement for Infrared Temperature Measurement Pyrolaser®, Pyrofiber® & Optitherm® III Emissivity Technology While infrared thermometry has been used for many years in industrial applications, the measurement of temperature utilizing this technology has been restricted due to inherent infrared weaknesses; the actual emissivity of the target material. The greatest deficiency is quite fundamental; infrared thermometers measure radiance received from a target i.e. one variable, while integration of Planck’s radiation law governing the relationship between the radiance and temperature measurement requires knowledge of a second variable, the target surface emissivity. The solution has been a combination of operator estimates based on experience, or use of dual and multi-wavelength pyrometers, which attempt to sidestep the mathematical problem by ratioing-out the emissivity using two or more simultaneous measurements of the radiance. For many applications operator experience and multi-wavelength technology are not valid. Emissivity varies with surface condition, temperature, wavelength and time. Without determining a targets emissivity value, true target temperature cannot be determined. Use the ePyroCal emissivity Calculator to determine just how emissivity errors can impact infrared temperature measurements. The Pyrolaser® & Pyrofiber® infrared thermometer instruments use a patented laser based infrared technology to determine a targets True Emissivity Correct Temperature (Te).

Whitenton National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD USA 20899-8223 ABSTRACT Infrared thermography is a relatively mature measurement technology, however systematic evaluation of measurement uncertainty for multi-point measurement (an infrared focal plane array) is very limited, or, does not follow uncertainty evaluation guidelines outlined in the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (BIPM-GUM). In order to approach uncertainty evaluation of thermographic measurements, a new thermographic calibration and measurement procedure was developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This method takes from procedures used with single-point radiation pyrometers, which have a more developed background in uncertainty evaluation stemming from their use as calibration transfer instruments. This report details a methodology for calibrating a thermal camera and obtaining temperature measurements, including measurement of emissivity and point spread function. This procedure is performed as a ‘post-processing’ technique which does not require the camera operating software to convert camera signal to temperature values.

  • Pyrolaser Emissivity Measuring Infrared Thermometer Fundamental
    Operating Experience with An Emissivity Measuring Laser Based Infrared Pyrometer Non Contact Infrared Thermometer Temperature Measurement International Test and Transducer Conference Sensors & Systems E. K. Mathews and G. J. Kilford Introduction: While in use in many industrial applications and research activities, the measurement of temperature utilizing infrared greatest deficiency is quite fundamental; IR thermometers measure radiance received from a target i.e. one variable, while integration of Planck’s law governing the relationship between the radiance and temperature requires knowledge of a second variable, the target surface emissivity. Heretofore, the solution has been a combination of operator estimates based on experience, or use of dual and multi-wavelength pyrometers, which sidestep the mathematical problem by ratioing-out the emissivity using two or more simultaneous measurements of the radiance. The assumptions here are that the surface is a grey body, with constant emissivity (e) or fixed ratios between emissivities at two or more wavelengths. In many industrial applications these assumptions are not valid. Emissivity varies with surface condition, temperature, wavelength and indeed, with time. Industrial processes have dynamic characteristics and the targets have varying properties; the simple emissivity assumptions are not valid. The second chronic error in industrial infrared temperature measurement is that caused by background radiation irradiance or energy reflected by the target to the measuring instrument. The instrument receives infrared energy from the target composed of the emitted energy plus that source by furnace walls or a combustion front and reflected by the target to the measuring instrument. We thus have a two-fold effect of target emissivity: Where (r ) is the target reflectivity and the subscript (l ) refers to wavelength.
