Specialized
Models for
Specialized
Applications
Advanced applications and
processes need specialized tools
like the Raytek 3i IR (infrared) thermometer.
The Raytek 3i series of noncontact thermometers
measures surface temperature in places other thermo-
meters cannot. With a choice of spectral responses,
temperature ranges, laser sighting options and on-board
data logging capabilities, the Raytek 3i meets the individual
requirements of demanding users.

Raytek 3i Series

O
vercome the limitations of contact thermometers in
manufacturing plants with Raytek 3i series infrared
thermometers. For the most accurate readings in hot
environments, the 3i thermometer compensates for the
energy reflected by the background around the target. Reflected
background energy compensation allows for accurate measure-
ment even when the area measured is reflecting energy from
nearby objects with higher temperatures; for example, inside a
furnace. Varying spectral responses, laser-sighting systems, and
distance-to-measurement spot ratios ensure the Raytek 3i temperature
measurements are precise.

Raytek high temperature Accurately measure glass

LT and LR
For maintenance and quality
control applications, the
Raytek 3i Low Temperature
(LT) and Long Range (LR)
models are available for
various temperature range
and optical requirements.
The strong 105:1 distance-to-
spot ratio of the 3i LRL2SC
thermometer combined with
a –30 to 1200°C (-20 to
2200°F) temperature range
infrared thermometers, such
as the 3i 1M & 2M models
are ideal for foundry and
processing operations, such
as heat treating, tempering
and forging.
Due to the high-resolution
180:1 optics of the Raytek
3i 1M unit, it can take the
approximate temperature
measurements of molten
glass by measuring the
surface temperature of the
port arch and bridge wall.
Measuring the surface
temperature of regenerator
stacks or furnace melts may
also assess the possibility
of brick damage.
Ideally suited for:
and plastics processing with
specialized spectral responses
using the Raytek 3iG5 or
3iP7 unit. The 3iG5 model
is a 5-micron instrument
designed for glass manufac-
turing and recycling, and is
useful for temperature meas-
urements of float sheets and
gobs. The 7.9-micron Raytek
3iP7model is designed for
applications in producing
and converting film plastics.
Well suited for many processes
within glass and plastic
manufacturing.
