Case 4  Level 3: Total System Support < return to menu> A Case in Point A European cast aluminum product manufacturer needed a customized solution to measure the temperature of molten aluminum. Problem The customer previously used temperature probes but they had a very short life and in calculating the end-of-year costs of the sacrificial probes in addition to the frequent down time required to replace the probes the company's purchasing and engineering departments realized they needed a cost-effective and technically efficient solution. OMEGA Solution OMEGA proposed a customized non-contact infrared system solution which incorporated a specialized installation technique that allowed the temperature to be measured via an infrared sensor mounted so that it "looks" into the open end of a pipe within the molten aluminum container. The sensor is wired to compatible OMEGA instrument system which now controls the entire molten aluminum bath.     Please E-Mail your comments and suggestions to OMEGA® or call us @ 0800 488 488 © Copyright 1999 OMEGA ENGINEERING, INC.
