Ametek Land releases new borescope to enhance temperature monitoring of furnaces

AMETEK Land, a manufacturer of monitors and analysers for industrial infrared non-contact temperature measurement, has launched an inno- vative, new mid-wavelength bore- scope, the MWIR-B-640, for furnace applications. The MWIR-B-640 enables highly accurate and fully radiometric temper- ature measurement image data to be taken, stored, and trended over the lifetime of the furnace, providing a continuous and clear view, even through heavy smoke and hot atmospheres. It is suitable for use in hydrocarbon processing reformers; heat treatment; reheat, cement kiln, and annealing furnaces; biomass, waste and coal boilers; as well as incinerators. This innovative new borescope features advanced spectral filtering and a high thermal and spatial resolution to deliver clear liveimagesof thefurnace,boiler,and

stock, with more than 300,000 accurate point temperatures measuring in the range of 300-1,200°C (572-2,192°F) and 500-1,800°C (932-3,272°F). The high-resolution image of the MWIR-B-640, combined with a 90° wide-angle field of view, allows multiple areas to be imaged and measured simultaneously. With the wide-angle view into the furnace, image data can be viewed in real-time from the safety of the control room. With only a small opening in the wall, the MWIR-B-640 can accurately profile the temperature of the entire furnace without affecting the furnace atmosphere, the stock temperature, or energy consumption. “The MWIR-B-640 is an invaluable tool that will prolong furnace and boiler lifetime, optimise production throughput, reduce energy consumption and improve stock temperatures,” said David

Primhak, director of development and product management for AMETEK Land. “It has a range of innovative features that ensure it is user-friendly, extremely accurate, and offers a high level of asset protection.” TheMWIR-B-640 uses proven thermal imaging technology to accurately and continuously profile the temperature of the furnace and the stock, resulting in improved data accuracy through automation and reduced risk to personnel by minimising the need for an operator to be in the hazardous furnace/ boiler area. In addition, the MWIR-B-640 has a range of mounting options to ensure simple installation and is available with a range of probe lengths to suit every application.
