Surface temperature sensors monitor the thermal condition of steelmaking equipment under extreme
operating environments without direct contact with molten
metal.
By continuously capturing surface temperature distribution and high temperature data, the sensors
provide reliable visibility into equipment and refractory thermal behavior.
This sensor-based data forms the foundation for IRS, systematic monitoring and higher-level digital
system.
