What should my pyrometer gauge read?
A pyrometer measures the temperature of the engine through its exhaust fumes. A probe is placed within the flow of exhaust air to receive the best gauge of how hot the engine fumes are becoming. Normal operating ranges are from 300 degrees to 1200 degrees. Any fluctuations from this range can damage the engine.
What does a pyrometer in a truck measure?
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) pyrometer can be one of the most important gauges on a turbo-diesel-powered vehicle. A pyrometer is a temperature gauge designed to measure high temperatures above those measurable with an ordinary thermometer.
What is a normal EGT reading?
The temperature of the turbine, (turbo) blades probably never reached above 1000 degrees. A good safe target is to set your edge, or if you have regular gauges, your foot, at a cutoff temperature of 1250. Then you are never going to get your temps above an “sustained” unsafe limit.
Why is my exhaust temperature high?
High exhaust gas temperatures are caused by too much fuel and too little air within the diesel motor’s cylinders. Facilitate the efficient consumption of fuel, and lowered exhaust temperatures, by allowing more clean air to flow into the motor and reset the appropriate air to fuel ratios.
How hot should EGT be?
The absolute maximum safe EGT range is debatable. Our universal rule of thumb, regardless of engine make/model/year, is to not exceed 1250° F and not to operate in the 1200° F – 1250° F range for an extended period of time.

What kind of technology does a pyrometer use?
The Pyrometer portable Pyrolaser® infrared thermometer uses the latest pulsed laser technology to precisely measure the true target non contact temperature measurement.
What should my pyrometer readings be at idle?
The probe on my Dodge is in the part of the manifold that turns lower (600-800). The Ford under these same conditions is at 1250 WOT and 850. ALL drop almost immediatly to 300-375 at idle or no load, depending on ambient. My only concern was the normal operating range of a non-turboed IDI.
What is the accuracy of a pyrolaser thermometer?
While all non contact infrared thermometer instruments measure a target radiance temperature, the Pyrolaser® dynamically determines a targets emissivity value resulting in unmatched temperature accuracy to ±3° C. With Pyrolaser®, laboratory precision temperature measurements can be obtained in a portable easy to use instrument.
How does a ratio pyrometer work in the fluke process?
Windows in the process that get dirty and are difficult to keep clean. Emissivity of the product changes (due to change in alloy or surface condition). A two-color or ratio pyrometer, such as Endurance Series , can operate properly even with these problems and indicate the correct temperature.

What kind of power does bt-1500 pyrometer have?
Auto Power OFF, Low power indicator to extend the battery life. BT-1500 Professional digital infrared thermometer is specially designed for inanimate objects, Temperature measurement for humans or animals could be lower. Class II laser, optical power <0.5mW . Wavelength 630~670 um. You have clipped this coupon.
How is the temperature of a pyrometer measured?
The PYRO Optical pyrometer temperature sensor for non contact high temperature measurement operates by allowing the operator to compare the intensity of light radiated from a target at visible .655µm wavelength to the known brightness of an internal calibrated lamp.
How are optical pyrometers used in industrial applications?
The PYRO Optical radiation pyrometer is used for many industrial applications to measure non contact high temperature measurements. The optical sensor red scales can be provided for emissivity correction of targets with a 0.4 emissivity value.
