Pyrometers and Infrared Thermometers
IR Thermometer works in harsh environments.
Press Release Summary:
Comprised of 4 models, RT8A series is built to withstand demands of measuring temperature of moving materials, webs, or inaccessible objects in hostile production environments. Non-contact, 2-wire instruments cover operating temperatures from 0 to +1,000°F and are protected by NEMA 4X housing, which can be supplemented by optional cooling and lens purging facilities. Response time is adjustable from 1-10 sec, and accuracy is less than 0.5% of span.

New Rugged Infrared Thermometer Takes Everyday Knocks in the Production Line
The new RT8A infrared thermometer from Land Instruments International is sturdily built to withstand the rigours of measuring the temperature of moving materials, webs or inaccessible objects without contact in hostile production environments.
Measuring product temperature in this way can improve quality, conserve energy, and optimise production rates without contaminating, damaging or interfering with the process or material.
Encompassing four models covering operating temperatures from 0 to 500°C/0 to 1,000°F, the two wire stand-alone RT8A range of infrared thermometers is suitable for a wide variety of primary OEM and end-user applications in industries as diverse as asphalt, mineral processing, glass, food, paper, converting, plastics, printing and textiles.
The environmental protection provided by the rugged, NEMA 4X/IP65 rated housing can be supplemented by optional cooling and lens purging facilities when required to provide two levels of protection from the hazards of hostile environments.
A comprehensive choice of mounting and protection accessories from the well-proven System 4 range makes it easy to install the thermometer at the optimum point in the process. Wiring connections are simple to make, and no tools are required to access the protected thermometer.
RT8A thermometers are designed to be integrated directly into a simple two-wire 4 to 20mA current loop for measuring, monitoring or control purposes.
Accurate, reliable and stable temperature measurement is assured by the RT8A's response time, which is adjustable from 1 to 10s; accuracy within <0.5% of span; and minimal drift with change in ambient temperature of £1.5°C per 10°C.
