The Optris CTratio 1M stands as a stalwart in the realm of temperature measurement, offering a robust and precise solution for non-contact temperature monitoring across a broad spectrum of high temperatures, ranging from 450 °C to 3000 °C. Engineered with meticulous attention to detail, this advanced fiber-optical ratio thermometer is available in three distinct models, namely 1ML, 1MH, and 1MH1, each tailored to address specific measurement requirements with unparalleled accuracy and reliability. At the heart of the CTratio’s exceptional performance lies its innovative ratio-based measurement principle. Unlike conventional single-color pyrometers that rely solely on intensity measurements, the CTratio employs a dual-color approach, measuring infrared radiation at two closely spaced wavelengths. By evaluating the relationship between these two intensities, the CTratio ensures consistent and repeatable temperature measurements, even in challenging conditions where emissivity may be unknown or vary with temperature. This ratio-based methodology offers several distinct advantages over single-color devices. For instance, this pyrometer remains resilient in adverse conditions, such as when the measuring spot is partially on the object or when obstacles like dust, smoke, or steam are present in the optical path. Moreover, the CTratio’s ability to accurately measure temperatures when the object is not fully within the pyrometers field of view or is in rapid motion underscores its versatility and reliability in demanding industrial environments. Aligning the CTratio for optimal performance is a breeze, thanks to its integrated green laser
