CTlaser 05M

IR thermometer optris CTlaser 05M for measurement of molten metals

The infrared thermometer optris CTlaser 05M has been specifically designed for temperature measurement of metal surfaces and molten metals. It features a very short measuring wavelength of 525 nm, minimizing measuring errors during emissivity changes. The thermometer offers a temperature range between 1,000°C and 2,000°C.

The measuring head can be installed even in high ambient temperatures and can be equipped with industrial accessories for IR thermometers, e.g. water cooling, if necessary.
