Williamson – Dynamic Multi-Wavelength (MWx) Pyrometers

Vector CAG - Williamson Logo

Williamson’s multi-wavelength pyrometers use application specific algorithms to characterize infrared energy and emissivity to accurately calculate the temperature of these complex non-greybody materials. Algorithms have been developed and refined from extensive data collected from off-line simulations and on-line trials.

These pyrometers also have a real-time measure of emissivity, confirming valid temperature measurement conditions and alerting you of invalid conditions that require troubleshooting.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The MWx pyrometers work differently than traditional MW technology which assumes that the surface conditions are relatively consistent. The MWx sensors use Dynamic ESP Technology to automatically compensate for more significant variation in surface character and conditions without any adjustments.

The two applications which require the more advanced MWx technology are:

  • Aluminum hot rolling mills where the surface character of the aluminum varies dramatically by alloy and pass as it goes through the reversing mill.
  • High temperature (<900°F/480°C) aluminum billets where there is an elemental migration of aluminum to the outside billet surface that dramatically changes the emissivity of the billet surface.
