AMETEK Land Enhances Precision in Coke Oven Furnace Temperature Management

Coke, a carbon-rich material derived from coal, plays a crucial role in metallurgical processes, with steel production being its primary use. Coke is produced by heating coal in the absence of air, driving off the volatile components and causing thermal decomposition.

The lifespan of coke battery depends on the temperature and balance of the heating chambers. AMETEK Land’s portable non-contact thermometers are the ideal solution for accurate temperature measurement of coke oven elements, particularly flue temperatures, ensuring uniform heating for producing coke with consistent properties such as density and porosity.

Our handheld non-contact thermometers provide precise temperature measurements at multiple locations, verifying online pyrometer readings. Their durable and lightweight construction allows for extended operation without fatigue.

The Cyclops 100L is a precise and safe tool for temperature readings in severe environments, ideal for measuring flue temperatures through furnace viewports.

Derek Stuart, Head of Product Management at AMETEK Land, says: “Cyclops is robust and easy to use, so it is ideal for temperature measurements in coke batteries. The routes feature simplifies the task of logging measurements in multiple locations.”

With highly accurate Through-The-Lens sighting, a fully focusable lens, and a narrow optical field of view, the Cyclops is easy to operate. It measures narrow flues without the need for connector cables, thanks to its wireless Bluetooth communication features.

Data logging is simplified with Cyclops Logger software, compatible with various devices from PCs to mobile devices. The Cyclops can store numerous readings internally, transferable via Bluetooth or USB with the Cyclops Logger software.

These features of the Cyclops 100L provide significant benefits, leading to improved process control and efficiency.
