  • Scanning laser range finder with surface temperature measurement using two-color pyrometry
    Patent number: 10060725
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed to characterize the wear and measure temperature of a surface of a lining of a metallurgical container. Wear characterization is accomplished by a scanning device by making thickness measurements of the lining and surface temperature measurements are made using a two-color pyrometer integrated with the scanning device where surface temperature is measured by correlating a ratio of two light intensities to the surface temperature. A controller controls operation of the scanning device and the two-color pyrometer.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: PROCESS METRIX
