StratoTest 4500 C - thickness measurement of kiln linings

Product catalog summary

Overview
The StratoTest 4500 C is a precision gauge designed for non-destructive thickness measurement of refractory bricks in industrial furnaces, kilns, and ovens. It utilizes the eddy currents principle, offering a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Key Features

Suitable for various refractory materials including cement, dolomite, and magnesite bricks.
Non-destructive measurement with immediate results.
10 times faster than the drill core method.
Measuring range from 0 to 30 cm with a resolution of 0.1 cm.
Special technique to mitigate the effects of metal inclusions and microstructural changes.
Easy data transfer via USB and Bluetooth.

Application
The StratoTest 4500 C is ideal for assessing the condition of refractory linings in industrial settings, significantly reducing downtime compared to traditional methods. It provides accurate measurements necessary for statistical analysis of wear-related differences in brick thickness.

Measuring Principle
The device operates on the eddy currents principle, suitable for non-conducting refractory bricks and unreinforced refractory concrete. The probe measures against the metal furnace shell, with changes in the magnetic field indicating brick thickness.

Measuring Procedure
Initial calibration is done through trial drilling to determine actual brick thickness. This calibration allows for non-destructive, precise measurements across the entire area without further drilling.

Data Transfer
Data can be easily transferred to a PC via USB or Bluetooth, with measurements stored as CSV files compatible with software like Microsoft Excel.

StratoTest 4500 C - thickness measurement of kiln linings-2

Technical specifications StratoTest 4500CApplication Refractory bricks undergo premature degradation through thermal cycling with a significant decrease in mechanical properties. Designed to measure the thickness of such bricks, StratoTest 4500 C proofed to be a most useful tool to determine the state of lining in industrial furnaces, rotary kilns etc. Unlike the destructive, time-consuming and expensive coring method, StratoTest measures brick thickness quick, easy and non-de-structively. Down times of industrial furnaces and ovens are considerably reduced. StratoTest guarantees a high degree...
