Two-Color
- General purpose wavelength set
- Can tolerate modest misalignment and partial field of view
- Compensate for variable emissivity and modest optical obstruction or misalignment
- Used when there is a clear optical path between the pyrometer and target
- Measure temperatures above 1100ºF / 600ºC
- Ideal for scale-free and uniformly heated ferrous material
Two-Color pyrometers are ratio pyrometers that can compensate for emissivity and misalignment. However, TC pyrometers cannot view through common optical interferences, so it is critical to avoid water, steam, flames, combustion gasses, plasma and laser energy for the most accurate and repeatable results. Anytime these interferences are encountered, the TC technology will read in error.
