Abstract:
A device for detecting at least one thermographic image including a thermal camera sensitive to infrared radiation for acquiring the thermographic image; a protective case, inside which the thermal camera is inserted, having a window through which the thermal camera is able to acquire the thermographic image; a screen, positioned outside the protective case and movable between a first operating position at which it is superposed on the window to protect it from environmental disturbances and a second operating position wherein it is shifted from the window, allowing the thermal camera to acquire the thermographic image; a pneumatic system for supplying air inside the protective case having an inlet outside the protective case; a computerised command and control unit; the pneumatic system includes means for adjusting and distributing the air operating inside the protective case and in communication with the external inlet controlled by the computerised command and control unit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the detection of sparks in a channel where material flows. A spark sensing device is positioned in connection with channel where material flows in a flowing direction. The spark sensing device comprises a sensor element and an optical element that transfers a radiation of a spark to the sensor element. The optical element is made of optically transparent material. The optical element is such that it shapes the collection beam of the sensor element to be asymmetrical whereby the viewing angle of the sensor element is wider in a direction transverse to the flowing direction than in the flowing direction.
Abstract:
An inspection system, in particular, a sewer inspection system is provided, comprising a temperature measurement device, whereby the temperature measurement device is a pyrometer for contact-free measurement of a surface temperature of an object, in particular, a pipe wall. Advantageously, the pyrometer is configured as an infra-red temperature sensor.
Abstract:
A security device is disclosed, wherein the security device includes a Fresnel lens covering the entire face of the device, a housing, and a pyroelectric detector. The center portion of the Fresnel lens, which contains the Fresnel lens elements, is molded flat, its edges are molded in the final installed form, and its edges contain appendages that secure the lens on the device so there are no gaps between the lens and the device.
Abstract:
A series of time-sequenced heat energy data arrays or data stream sets of a weld process region are processed by a weld data array or data stream processing system to produce a heat energy data set output that is related to weld process region features or weld process region heat energy data. The heat energy data set output can be displayed to a system user and modified by system user input to the weld data array or data stream processing system; alternatively, or in combination, the system user output and input, the heat energy data set output, or data produced from the heat energy data set output by the weld data array or data stream processing system, can be transmitted to a weld process controller to adjust parameters in the weld process responsive to the output of the weld data array or data stream processing system.
Abstract:
A technique for an infrared radiation thermometer used for thermography detects measurement abnormality of the infrared radiation thermometer and estimates the causes of the measurement abnormality such as contamination of an objective lens and a malfunction in a mechanism section of the infrared radiation thermometer. The measurement abnormality detector has a dummy lens 21 placed in the periphery of the objective lens 11 of the thermometer 10 so as to be at a position and in an attitude that are more susceptible to contamination than the objective lens 11, a laser displacement meter 22 for projecting light to the dummy lens 21 at each predetermined time or at a predetermined timing, receiving the light reflected by the dummy lens 21, and measuring the quantity of the received light, and determination means 50 for calculating the attenuation rate of the projected light on the basis of the quantity of the received light measured by the laser displacement meter 22, estimating the degree of contamination of the dummy lens 21 on the basis of the calculated attenuation rate, and judging, on the basis of the degree of contamination of the dummy lens 21, the necessity of warning for contamination of the objective lens 11 and measurement abnormality of the thermometer 10.

Abstract:
A device for measuring the temperature of a melt, particularly of a molten metal, comprises an optical fiber and a guiding tube having an immersion end and a second end opposite to the immersion end. The optical fiber is partially arranged in the guiding tube. An inner diameter of the guiding tube is larger than an outer diameter of the optical fiber. A first plug is arranged at the immersion end of or within the guiding tube proximate the immersion end of the guiding tube. The optical fiber is fed through the first plug and the first plug reduces a gap between the optical fiber and the guiding tube.

Abstract:
A consumable cored wire for measuring a temperature of a molten steel bath includes an optical fiber and a cover laterally surrounding the optical fiber in a plurality of layers. One layer is a metal pipe, also called metal jacket or metal tube. An intermediate layer, also called filler, is arranged beneath the metal tube. The intermediate layer is a rope.
