Primary Steel
Williamson uses carefully selected wavelengths, specialized technology, & durable components to provide accurate & repeatable temperature measurements throughout the primary steel & iron making process.
Melt Shop & Caster
Williamson’s advanced pyrometers utilize carefully selected wavelengths & application-specific technology to provide accurate real-time temperature feedback at all critical points throughout the steel melt shop & caster.
Hot Rolling Mills
In the Hot Rolling Process, maintaining a precise time-temperature relationship is essential for achieving the desired metallurgical properties & efficient production times.Williamson Pyrometers use carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets & ESP filtering to overcome temperature measurement challenges associated with Hot Rolling. These features enable accurate, continuous, & repeatable temperature measurements at all points in the Hot Rolling process.
Continuous Annealing & Hot Dip Coating
In the Annealing Process, a controlled time-temperature relationship is critical in obtaining desired mechanical properties & efficient production times. Inconsistent temperatures & varying soak times result in unacceptable mechanical qualities, production lags, increased scrap, & higher energy costs.Williamson Pyrometers use carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets & application-specific ESP filtering to overcome temperature measurement challenges associated with Continuous Annealing & various coating processes. These features enable Williamson Pyrometers to achieve accurate, continuous, and repeatable temperature measurements at all points in the Continuous Annealing & Hot-Dip Coating process.
Oilfield Tubular
In the oilfield tubular manufacturing process, accurate real-time temperature feedback is crucial for maintaining product quality, reliability, & cost-effectiveness. Inaccurate temperature measurements caused by various interferences can result in compromised quality, & increased scrap rates.Williamson Pyrometers use carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets & application-specific ESP filtering to overcome temperature measurement challenges associated with oilfield tubular. These features enable accurate, continuous, & repeatable temperature measurements at all points in the oilfield tubular manufacturing process.
Forging
Running the heating and deformation processes based on temperature control, allows manufacturers to simultaneously maximize production efficiency & eliminate costly temperature-related quality defects.Williamson Pyrometers use carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets & ESP filtering to overcome temperature measurement challenges associated with forging. These features enable Williamson Pyrometers to achieve accurate, continuous, and repeatable temperature measurements at all critical points in the forging process, even where other advanced pyrometers cannot.
