Metravi MT-2 Non-contact Industrial Pyrometer Infrared Thermometer

A. Product Overview

The Metravi MT-2 Non-contact Industrial Pyrometer Infrared Thermometer is a compact and easy-to-use infrared thermometer designed to measure surface temperature from a safe distance. It is useful for checking objects that are moving, electrically live, very hot, difficult to access or unsafe to touch with a contact thermometer.

The MT-2 comes with a built-in single laser pointer for better target aiming. Its non-contact measurement function allows the user to take temperature readings quickly by pointing the instrument at the surface and pressing the measurement button.

It has a temperature range of minus 50°C to 550°C, display resolution of 0.1°C, fixed emissivity of 0.95, response time of 500 milliseconds and spectral response of 8 to 14 micrometre. The instrument also includes automatic data hold, MAX/MIN temperature display, backlit LCD and over-range indication.

This makes it suitable for industrial temperature checking, preventive maintenance, equipment inspection and surface temperature monitoring.

B. Working Principle

The Metravi MT-2 works on the principle of infrared radiation measurement. Every object emits infrared energy based on its surface temperature. The infrared thermometer detects this emitted energy through its sensor and converts it into a temperature reading on the display.

The single laser does not measure temperature directly. It helps the user aim at the target area more accurately. The actual temperature is measured by the infrared sensor.

The MT-2 has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio. This means that when the instrument is held 12 cm away from the target, it measures an approximate 1 cm spot area. As the distance from the object increases, the measured spot size also becomes larger. For better accuracy, the target surface should be larger than the measurement spot area.

The fixed emissivity of 0.95 is suitable for many common industrial and general surfaces such as painted surfaces, rubber, plastic, food surfaces, asphalt, wood and many non-reflective materials.

C. Why It Is Used

The Metravi MT-2 is used when temperature needs to be measured quickly, safely and without touching the surface. It helps reduce risk during inspection of hot surfaces, moving machinery, electrical panels, HVAC equipment, motors, ducts, pipes, engines and process equipment.

It is especially useful where contact temperature measurement is difficult or unsafe. For example, a contact thermometer may not be suitable for rotating parts, live electrical surfaces, hot machine components, moving production material, food processing surfaces or inaccessible machine areas.

The MT-2 is also useful for preventive maintenance because it helps detect abnormal heating in equipment. Maintenance teams can use it to identify overheating motors, electrical connections, bearings, ducts, heaters, dryers and other machinery components before failure occurs.

FAQ

1. What is the Metravi MT-2 used for?
The Metravi MT-2 is used for non-contact surface temperature measurement. It is suitable for checking hot surfaces, moving objects, electrically live surfaces, HVAC equipment, food surfaces, motors, machines, dryers, engines and industrial process areas.

2. What is the temperature range of the Metravi MT-2?
The Metravi MT-2 can measure temperature from minus 50°C to 550°C, making it suitable for many industrial, electrical, HVAC/R and general maintenance applications.

3. Does the Metravi MT-2 need physical contact with the surface?
No, the MT-2 is a non-contact infrared thermometer. It measures surface temperature by detecting infrared energy emitted by the target object.

4. What is the distance-to-spot ratio of the Metravi MT-2?
The MT-2 has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio. This means that at 12 cm distance, the instrument measures approximately a 1 cm spot area.

5. What is the use of the single laser in the MT-2?
The single laser helps the user aim at the target area more accurately. The laser is only for sighting and targeting, while the temperature is measured by the infrared sensor.

6. Can the Metravi MT-2 be used for electrical maintenance?
Yes, it is useful for electrical maintenance because it can check surface temperature of electrical panels, cables, terminals, breakers, connectors and other equipment without direct contact.

7. Is the Metravi MT-2 suitable for HVAC and refrigeration work?
Yes, the MT-2 is suitable for HVAC/R work. It can be used to check duct surfaces, vents, refrigeration components, air conditioning equipment, heating systems and cooling system surfaces.

8. What is the emissivity value of the Metravi MT-2?
The MT-2 has fixed emissivity of 0.95. This value is suitable for many common non-reflective surfaces used in industrial, food, HVAC and general maintenance applications.

9. Does the Metravi MT-2 have data hold and MAX/MIN function?
Yes, the MT-2 includes automatic data hold and MAX/MIN function. These features help users record and compare temperature readings during inspection.

10. What type of battery does the Metravi MT-2 use?
The Metravi MT-2 operates on a 9V battery, making it portable and convenient for field use.

11. Can the Metravi MT-2 measure internal temperature?
No, the MT-2 measures surface temperature only. It does not measure internal temperature of liquids, food, materials or closed equipment unless the surface temperature represents the area being checked.
