Highest Measured Temperature 3200° F / 1400° C
Operating Wavelengths

0.7 to 1.0 (silicon)

 

IRCON's Fiber Optic InfraRail GT Infrared Thermometer offers the powerful features and affordable price of the standard InfraRail Infrared Thermometer, along with the flexibility and ruggedness provided by an temperature sensor using fiber optics. The InfraRail GT's unique focusable reimaging lens sensor assembly and fiber optic cable offer the opportunity to sight on targets where direct sighting is impossible or, as in the case of glass furnaces, where extremely high ambient temperatures are present.

The Fiber Optic InfraRail GT is used to measure temperatures of the crown, side walls, breast wall, checkers and molten glass temperature in the furnace, forehearth, and runners.

  • Designed Specifically For Temperature Measurement in Glass Furnace Applications
  • Miniature Infrared Sensing Head
  • Quick Release Mount
  • Patented, Focusable Fiber Optics Reimaging Lens
  • 25 ft. (7.6m) Fiber Optic Cable
  • Special Mounting Devices For Glass Furnace Applications
  • 4-20 mA Two-Wire Signal Conditioner/Transmitter
  • Utilizes Very Stable Silicon Detector
APPLICATIONS - Glass temperature measurement in the furnace, forehearth, and runners.
Temperatures of the breast wall, checkers, bridge wall, and crown.

INFRARAIL GT INFRARED THERMOMETER COMPONENTS :



The Fiber Optic InfraRail GT assembly consists of:
  • InfraRail DIN-rail mounted Signal Processor with response time adjustment, digital emissivity setting, peak picker, and 4 to 20 mA linear output
  • Fiber Optic Infrared Sensor
  • 25ft (7.6m) of Fiber Optic Cable
  • Focusable Reimaging Lens
  • Model AAQ-1 Quick-Release Air Purge Assembly
  • Model MB-2 Angle Mounting Bracket
  • Model SI-12 Inconel Sight Tube (12in.[305mm])
Optional accessories may be purchased to replace those supplied with the InfraRail GT Infrared Thermometer:
  • Model SI-24 Inconel Sight Tube (12in.[610mm])
The InfraRail IR sensor operates at a 0.7 to 1.0 µm wavelength. The sensor is a rugged, inherently stable silicon photodiode with proven performance for over 40 years on glass furnace installations. The signal processor can be mounted up to 1000 ft (300 m) from the sensor and requires a simple two-wire shielded cable for transmitting the sensor signal to the indicator. The Reimaging Lens has a focal range of 10 in. to infinity (254 mm to infinity). Most components are interchangeable for easy routine maintenance. For more details, refer to InfraRail Catalog DN-08
