2-color pyrometers
2-color pyrometers measure the infrared radiation at two closely spaced wavelengths at the same time and determine the temperature by forming a quotient.
Such devices are often used for measurements through dirty windows, steam or dust in the pyrometer's field of view. Even if the measuring object is smaller than the pyrometer measuring field or the emissivity of the material is unknown or an exact determination is not possible.
Our 2-color pyrometers are characterized by:
- 2 separate measuring detectors for the two spectral ranges for reliable recording of measured values even with low signal strengths.
- Digital microcontroller signal processing for 100% reproducibility of the displayed measured values.
- IR signal monitoring for warning if the optics or windows are too dirty.
The ratio technique also allows the determination of very special applications such as pouring stream measurement or the flame measurement. Intelligent algorithms are also integrated here, which output a reasonable measurement result from the complex interaction of the individual signals, the signal strengths and the different emissivity of the measurement wavelengths.

FAQ
What role does the distance between the two wavelengths play?
An independent measurement is carried out in each wavelength range, which normally requires the emissivity of the measuring material. However, since this is cut out again when the relationship is formed, it is on the other hand not necessary to know it.
Voraussetzung für ein fehlerfreies Messergebnis ist allerdings ein immer konstantes Verhältnis, auch wenn die Messtemperatur sich ändert. Bei vielen Materialien ändert sich der Emissionsgrad aber abhängig von der Temperatur oder auch dem Messwinkel. Je weiter die beiden Messwellenlängen nun auseinander liegen, umso stärker ändert sich bei solchen Materialien das Verhältnis, wenn sich die Temperatur ändert. Die Messabweichungen sind dann unterschiedlich groß, je nachdem, welche Temperatur gerade gemessen wird. Messgeräte mit weiter auseinanderliegenden Spektralbereichen sind nur für Messungen an sogenannten "grauen Strahlern" geignet, die es in der Regel nicht gibt.
The measuring wavelengths of Sensortherm's 2-color pyrometers are close to each other in order to keep this error as low as possible. The individual measurement results of the two spectral ranges are therefore more parallel, which is necessary in order to always correctly calculate the quotient at all measurement temperatures.
When do I have to adjust the emissivity slope?
