    Thermal Analysis

    Williamson Pyrometer, Dual Wavelength (2-color), Pro 80 Series

    • Cline Innovations has an inventory of sturdy pre-owned pyrometers from Williamson.
    • Suitable for hydrogen-based plasma applications (such as diamond MPCVD) or more traditional furnace or oven applications.

      This listing includes details of one the Williamson pyrometers that we have in inventory:

      --Pyrometer Model: Williamson PRO 82-40 --Temperature Range: 475-1475C --Field of View: 0.15in@15in (3.81mm@381mm) --Pyrometer Device Power: 24VDC --Pyrometer Housing: Rugged, sealed metal casting. --Model 23 Interface Module (Controller) with advanced functions.

      The sensor measurement range (nominally 2 micron IR) is suitable for pyrometry of surfaces exposed to light-emitting hydrogen plasmas (e.g. Diamond MPCVD processes, etc.).  Use for traditional high temperature applications including vacuum brazing, heat treatment, and furnacing is also viable.
