KELLER's pyrometer CellaCast PA80 is specially designed to measure the temperature of liquid metal in the runner of a blast furnace or cupola furnace while the PA 83 model is designed to measure the temperature of liquid metal poured from a foundry ladle or discharged from a bottom pour ladle.
The PA80 features a round target spot for steady targets, while the PA83 features a rectangular target area for moving targets (moving side-to-side). As long as the target fills 1/3 of the rectangular area, the PA83 is able to produce good, repeatable temperature data.
Both models are available with different optics, for a range of viewing distances. Hand-held versions are also available.
