Portable pyrometer forges ahead

The IGA 15 plus portable infra-red pyrometer has proved to be a success in the forging industry.

The IGA 15 plus portable infra-red pyrometer from Impac Infrared has proved to be a success in the forging industry.

With a temperature span of 250 to 1800C and a small target spot of just 4mm at a distance of 800mm it is an ideal instrument for measuring the temperature of heated components prior to forging.

Its fast response time of 20ms ensures that even the fastest procedure is easily covered.

Working at a short wavelength, the problems of low and variable emissivity are minimised, ensuring a quality and repeatable measurement.

The built-in data logger can store up to 750 readings for recall or downloading to a PC.

The IGA15 plus has both an analogue and a digital output making data-logging and recording quick and easy.

Using the optional Portawin Software, stored or real time data can be analysed using a standard PC.

The IGA 15 plus breaks new ground in the temperature measurement of metal surfaces and gives unequalled value for money, costing up to 50% less than competing models.
