Areas of application for the ratio pyrometer optris CTratio 1M

The special feature of the optris CTratio 1M allowing it to deliver reliable measuring data even through heavy soiling and acquiring data even with low visibility of the measuring objects – makes it an ideal device for temperature control of the hard-to-access processing of metals.

IR software CompactPlus Connect included

The temperature analysis software CompactPlus Connect has been developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of temperature data from the CTratio infrared thermometer. The Ratio Connect software is license-free and included in every pyrometer shipment. It can be downlaoded here.
