5 Practical Tips for Using the Gold Cup to Measure Tube Wall Temperatures

火曜日, 5月 2, 2023 | James Cross

アプリケーション

The Gold Cup pyrometer by AMETEK Land is a widely used instrument for measuring tube wall temperatures in industrial applications, especially in the petrochemical industry. However, using this tool requires some practical tips to ensure accuracy and safety during temperature surveys. Here are some essential tips for using the Gold Cup to measure tube wall temperatures.

Maintaining the Reliability and Safety of Steam Methane Reformers through Outlet System Monitoring

月曜日, 3月 20, 2023 | James Cross

アプリケーション

Monitoring the performance of a steam methane reformer (SMR) is a crucial process in the ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and steel industries. However, the operation of the SMR close to its material temperature and pressure design limits poses significant reliability challenges, such as creep rupture and cracks caused by high pressures, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical loads. Therefore, regular physical inspections and monitoring of the SMR are required despite the safety risks beneath the reformer.

10 Reasons Why Thermal Cameras Are Preferred to Video Cameras for Furnace Monitoring.

水曜日, 2月 1, 2023 | James Cross

アプリケーション

Following on from a recent blog by my esteemed colleague Manfred in December, we continue the discussion on thermal imaging versus video imaging with a focus on furnace monitoring. We often get asked something along the lines of “why would I install a thermal imager when there are perfectly good high temperature video cameras available for my furnace?” It’s quite simple; accurate temperature data is extremely valuable.

Should I Choose an Air-cooled or Water-cooled Thermal Imaging Camera for my Furnace?

月曜日, 8月 8, 2022 | James Cross

アプリケーション

Our engineering team has always been quite cautious about the cooling flows we state in our specifications on instruments designed for furnace imaging (for example for instruments like the water-cooled NIR-B-640-EX), both in terms of volumes and quality of air and water.
