In high-temperature plants in the metal, chemical or building material industries, it is of crucial importance to identify potential faults early, in order to prevent plant breakdowns and to ensure economic production. In addition to this, a uniform temperature distribution of the manufactured products, and thus their quality, must also be guaranteed.
The thermal imager testo 885 fulfils all these requirements.
With the help of the thermographic imaging process, not only the performance of the plants can be regularly monitored, but also the properties of the products, allowing a timely reaction to even the smallest thermal anomalies.
Only when the the process temperatures in energy-intensive industry are within the prescribed ranges can the respective products be manufactured in the desired quality. This requires the responsible people to regularly monitor whether all processes are running according to plan and at the right temperatures – otherwise there is a danger of slower or qualitatively inferior processing. In the steel industry for example, the products must be heated to a specific temperature which must remain constant for a period, in order to process the raw iron into steel and to achieve the optimum degree of hardness. Before they can be cut, the steel slabs must then be cooled to a maximum of 900 to 1,000 °C. In order to be optimally further processed however, they must at the same time not fall below the re-crystalization temperature (approx. 600 °C).
With numerous innovative functions, the thermal imager testo 885 allows you to ensure the efficiency of high-temperature plants precisely and reliably, before they become uneconomical or products show quality defects.
High-resolution images up to 1200 °C
In order for you to be able to work with high-resolution thermal images even in the range of extremely high temperatures, the testo 885 has the blast furnace option. This allows you to extend the measuring range up to 1,200 °C.
With the thermal imager testo 885, you can:
Identify faults in your plants early
Increase energy efficiency in production
Ensure process temperatures up to 1,200 °C in order to guarantee product quality
