High-temperature 2-color Ratio Pyrometer
This classification includes two color infrared pyrometers measuring range start from 600℃. Two-color pyrometer determines the temperature of an object by measuring the ratio of energy at two different wavelengths. The advanced software and hardware design help pyrometers meet the application in harsh environment as moisture, dust, target size change, partial blockage and emissivity change, even if the detection signal attenuates 95%, the temperature measurement results will not be effected.
In two color mode, pyrometer measure the highest temperature in an area without being limited by the size of the measured target. The two-color mode determines the temperature by the ratio of the signal from two wavelength. When with small measuring object, dusty, water vapor and foggy, changing distance, partially occlusion, and frequently changing emissivity, the signals of two wavelength fall simultaneously and the ratio remains the constant after division.

Autodesk and Associated General Contractors of America Equip Women in Construction with Properly Fitting Safety Harnesses
**SAN RAFAEL, Calif., March 2, 2020** – In an effort to boost safety and diversity within the construction industry, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), along with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), has awarded grants to 21 construction companies. These grants aim to supply over 300 fall protection harnesses specifically designed for women. This initiative seeks to address both the pressing safety concerns in the industry and the underrepresentation of women in construction roles.
The importance of tailored personal protective equipment (PPE) cannot be overstated. According to recent data, women account for less than nine percent of the overall construction workforce and just under three percent of construction craft professionals. Tragically, falls remain one of the leading causes of fatalities in construction, making proper safety equipment crucial.
Allison Scott, director of construction thought leadership at Autodesk Construction Solutions, emphasized the necessity of creating safer work environments for women. "Women represent half the population, yet they are vastly underrepresented in construction," she stated. "By providing these harnesses, we're taking steps to ensure women have the tools they need to succeed safely."
Stephen E. Sandherr, CEO of AGC of America, echoed these sentiments. "Ill-fitting safety gear can be dangerous, and it's a barrier to recruiting more women. These grants will enable firms to offer equipment that fits well and promotes safety, which is essential given the current labor shortage."
The winning firms, employing a combined workforce of 22,000, include some of the biggest names in construction. They are committed to improving safety standards and fostering a more inclusive environment. Russ Nicolai, safety manager at Snyder Roofing, expressed excitement about receiving the grant. "This comes at a pivotal moment," he said. "It gives us the chance to engage in meaningful discussions and implement solutions that truly meet the needs of women in our industry."
Another winner, Billy Naylor, regional safety director at McCarthy, shared similar enthusiasm. "Having the right equipment is key to ensuring comfort and productivity," he remarked. "We’re thrilled to take part in addressing this issue head-on."
AGC is collaborating with renowned safety equipment manufacturers MSA and 3M to deliver these specialized harnesses. Additionally, all participating firms must undergo training sessions to ensure proper usage of the equipment.
Recognition for the grantees will take place during AGC's Annual Convention and the CONEXPO-CON/AGG event in Las Vegas the following week. This marks a significant step forward in making construction safer and more inclusive for everyone involved.
As the industry continues to evolve, initiatives like these highlight the growing recognition of the importance of gender equality and safety in construction.
