Advances in Non-Contact Temperature Measurement for Glass Production

Overview

In this webinar, AMETEK Land introduces how advances in accurate non-contact temperature measurement across a range of glass production applications and under a variety of different conditions ensures high product quality and improved efficiencies.

Glass is used for a variety of purposes, and can be shaped, toughened, colored, laminated or treated to suit specific requirements. Precision temperature measurements are critical to the glass-making process, and it considers the key stages in the production process and looks at temperature monitoring to support these applications.

The webinar will then focus on continuous temperature measurements in glass furnace (melt tank) applications to ensure high product quality, help detect furnace structural damage, and improve melt tank efficiency.

AMETEK Land's NIR Borescope (NIR-B) Glass delivers a new approach. The NIR-B is a short wavelength, radiometric infrared borescope imaging camera that produces high-definition thermal images and enables accurate temperature measurement from any point in the image.

Adding thermal-imaging capabilities that enable operators to maintain an accurate visual of the entire glass-melt tank, as well as take temperature measurements at any point in the process and in any location within the tank, is invaluable. The addition of thermal imaging improves the quality of the yield, ensures damage within the tank can be discovered rapidly (before it becomes a major repair), adds an unprecedented level of data analysis, and reduces the total cost of operations.
