Near Infrared Borescope for
Temperature Measurement
Industrial infrared non-contact tempera-
ture measurement specialist AMETEK
Land (Berwyn, Pennsylvania) released the
new Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) 3XR
for industrial gas applications. The NIR-B
3XR delivers continuous reformer tube wall
temperature measurement and furnace
optimization and monitoring, allowing
accurate temperature point data to be mea-
sured, stored, and trended over the lifetime
of the furnace. The high-resolution image,
combined with the 90-degree, wide-angle
field of view, allows multiple reformer tubes
to be imaged and measured simultane-
ously, which is critical to extending asset
life and maximizing efficiency. The product
uses the shortest wavelength possible to
minimize errors associated with varying
emissivity. In addition to improving accu-
racy, the product also reduces personnel
risk by removing the need for an operator or
technician to be in a hazardous area on a
regular basis. With advanced digital com-
munications, the image and data can be
viewed in real time from the safety of the
control room. Tel: +44 (0)1246-417691, Web

Concrete Reinforcing
Steel Rebar
CAP Steel (Talcahuano, Chile) produced
its first heat of Chro
–
mX 9100 rebar at its
Huachipato plant. The product is a high-
strength, corrosion-resistant concrete
reinforcing steel based on the nanotech-
nolog y of MMFX Technologies Corp. The
rebar provides over 690 MPa of yield
strength and 1,050 MPa of ultimate tensile
strength, allowing for efficient high-
strength construction designs. Addition-
ally, the rebar has proven to be five times
more corrosion resistant than standard
black bar, thereby extending the service
life and lowering costs over the life of the
structure. The steels will be marketed and
sold in South American countries such as
Chile. Tel: +1 949-476-7600, Web site:
