MWx-AB Aluminum Billet

Pyrometer Datasheet

How MWx Pyrometers with Dynamic ESP Specifications

Technology Work MWx-AB Technology

• Multi-wavelength pyrometers are used to measure

the temperature of non-greybody materials. These
are materials for which the emissivity not only varies,
but varies differently at different wavelengths.

• Traditional multi-wavelength pyrometers use static,

application-specific algorithms to compensate
for complex emissivity characteristics. The MW
pyrometers assume that the surface conditions for
these applications are relatively consistent.
Traditional Style
• The Williamson MWx-AB pyrometer uses Dynamic MWx-AB
ESP Technology to compensate for vitrification and
changes in the relationship between wavelength
and emissivity. MWx-AB Specifications
Temperature Limits 550 to 1100°F / 285 to 600°C
• Measures side and cut-face of billet.
