Explosion Proof Type Pyrometer
This classification includes pyrometers designed for blast furnace equipped with explosion proof instrument.
Conditions in furnace are always tough alone with high temperature and high pressure. Limited to the requirements of operation environment and instrument`s structure, thermocouple thermometry would result in inaccurate measurement and lag reaction when works in harsh condition such as frequently temperature changes, large pressure fluctuations and event in vibration.
Since a thermocouple works at the high temperature ( usually 1200 ℃ ~ 1300 ℃) in furnace for long term, the thermocouple junction box also works at high temperature between 100 ℃ to 120 ℃, which will dramatically reduce instrument`s service life to a range from few weeks to few months. It will increases use-cost and maintenance workload.
In order to overcome above shortcomings, our company has designed and produced a serials of specialized infrared temperature measure device to ensure our infrared temperature measuring system works reliably in complex environment.

Autodesk and Associated General Contractors of America Equip Women in Construction with Properly Fitting Safety Harnesses
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., March 2, 2020 – In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing workplace safety and boosting female representation in the construction sector, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), in collaboration with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), has awarded grants to 21 construction firms. These grants will provide over 300 female workers with specially designed fall protection harnesses, marking a significant step towards creating safer work environments and encouraging more women to enter the construction industry.
The announcement was made today by both organizations, underscoring the urgent need to address safety concerns among construction professionals, particularly given the disproportionately higher risks faced by women due to ill-fitting personal protective equipment (PPE). According to federal data, women constitute less than 9% of the overall construction workforce and fewer than 3% of construction craft professionals. At the same time, falls remain one of the leading causes of fatalities in construction, as reported by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Allison Scott, director of construction thought leadership at Autodesk Construction Solutions, emphasized the importance of these grants. "We recognize the critical role women play in bridging the labor gap within construction," she stated. "Ensuring their safety through appropriate PPE is non-negotiable. This initiative with AGC is a vital first step in spotlighting the necessity of tailored equipment for women."
Stephen E. Sandherr, CEO of AGC of America, echoed similar sentiments. "Our member firms understand that fostering inclusivity goes hand-in-hand with safety. These grants empower us to supply hundreds of women with safety gear that fits correctly, thereby reducing the risk of injuries caused by poorly designed equipment."
Representatives from the recipient companies expressed enthusiasm about integrating these new tools into their operations. Russ Nicolai, safety manager at Snyder Roofing, highlighted the timing of the grant, stating, "It arrives at a crucial juncture where discussions around ergonomics and safety are paramount. We're thrilled to collaborate on solutions that cater specifically to women in our industry."
Anne Brown, director of business development and marketing at Christman Constructors, Inc., added, "The labor shortage underscores the untapped potential of half the population. By focusing on diversity and safety, we aim to attract more women to construction—a field brimming with opportunities."
To ensure effectiveness, AGC is teaming up with renowned safety equipment providers like MSA and 3M to deliver harnesses crafted explicitly for women. Additionally, all participating firms must undergo comprehensive training sessions on the correct usage of these harnesses.
Winning firms, which collectively employ 22,000 individuals, include notable names such as Hughes General Contractors, Christman Constructors, Inc., and Rosendin Electric, Inc. Recognition ceremonies for these grantees will take place during AGC's Annual Convention and CONEXPO-CON/AGG event in Las Vegas later this month.
This collaborative effort not only seeks to enhance occupational health standards but also addresses pressing workforce challenges facing the construction sector. With approximately 80% of firms reporting difficulties in sourcing qualified personnel, initiatives like this could prove instrumental in stabilizing the industry’s future.
