High temperature parts and processes in industry emit significant amount of radiation in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. An accurate method of estimating the temperature of combustor and furnace linings, turbine blades, molten metal and glass are required to ensure quality and to research newer manufacturing methods. Spectraline's high -speed spectrometers are great tools for measuring radiation emitted by these industrial processes by virtue of their high frame rates, rugged and compact construction. The infrared and visible imaging spectrometers use these non -contact measurements to estimate temperatures, emittances, and concentrations of water vapor, soot, CO2, etc. Fire, plume, and explosion analysis including temperature and concentration mapping are a specialty of the ES series of mid-infrared spectrometers and the LS series of thermal line scan cameras manufactured by Spectraline Inc. The high spectral scan rates enable capture of valuable data for transient events such as explosions and rocket propellant tests while the available 1-D and 2-D scanners enable temperature mapping of pool fires and similar phenomena. Altogether, Spectraline products are used in a wide variety of applications such as monitoring molten glass, hot steel and aluminum ingots, fault detection in high speed plastic webs and moving parts, characterizing automotive and aerospace engine combustion, pool fires and rocket engine plumes.
