What are the advantages of 1-color pyrometers?

1-color pyrometers measure temperature using the intensity of light at a single wavelength. They are cost-effective, simple to operate, and ideal for environments with consistent emissivity and other conditions. read more

How do pyrometers compare to thermal cameras?

While both pyrometers and thermal cameras measure heat, they serve different purposes. read more

Can pyrometers be used in kilns?

Yes, pyrometers are ideal for monitoring the high temperatures found in kilns. They are widely used in cement production, ceramics, and other processes requiring precise temperature control. read more

Why is emissivity important for pyrometers?

Emissivity is a material’s ability to emit thermal radiation relative to an ideal black body. For accurate temperature readings, the pyrometer's emissivity setting must match the material being measured. read more
