gauges optimize the mill process by reducing plate thickness variation with extremely high measurement accuracy. Measurements at high speed, low noise, and with cross-profile resolution yield twice the accuracy of conventional gauges that use ionization chambers. In addition, this product offers high reliability, flexibility, and user friendliness. Product Specifications Thermo Scientific hot steel plate Thermo Scientific RM 200 EG, RM 306 EG and RM 306 ES Hot Steel Plate Thickness Gauges This family of Thermo Scientific gauges includes a large number of critical standard features essential to the measure and control of your product, as well as optional features that permit a high degree of versatility. Optional Features • Full width temperature measurements with line scan pyrometer • Laser speed and length measurements • Alloy influence compensation (AIC) • Flexible mill computer interface • Data archiving system • Direct over-the-phone remote diagnostics • Integration of width measurements Measurement The accurate and low noise measurement is provided by cesium–137 sources. Each source is installed in a depleted uranium source container, whose high shielding properties enable a very compact source holder design. The sources are coupled with a reliable, proven scintillation detector design, yielding twice the accuracy of conventional gauges that use ionization chambers. The output from the high-speed centerline measurement is used for Plate Mill AGC systems. Its compact 3-in-1 detector packaging provides redundancy for minimizing mill down time. Our hot steel plate gauges incorporate a calibration method that assure accurate measurement. Each sensor set output is processed by its own independent electronics and integrated digitally by a main computer for analysis and coordination with the mill computer. In order to display the plate’s dimensions as they would be at room temperature, the gauge incorporates a comprehensive thermal expansion correction. The userfriendly software will accept external process parameters from the mill computer or keyboard entry from an operator. Gauge Design The robust frame can be made of either stainless or galvanized steel. The design concept allows flexibility in frame dimensions for an exact fit into your mill. Separate and independent water cooling circuits are provided for the scintillation detector and C-frame. Access to all components is facilitated by the modular construction of the panel mounted electronics console. Front access ensures easy servicing of all major components. The operator station has overall control of the gauge and is connected to the gauge computer through standard Ethernet hardware. Operator screens are available in several languages.
