Measure the bottom/ under-strip temperature. Measure the bottom profile temperature to prevent hook-up / cobble. Technology now available for both point and profile bottom side temperature measurement. Compare the edge temperature difference between operator and drive side
Pyromters Prevent Strip Cobble Due to Hook Up
Pilger mill in tube rolling mills - hot and cold pipe detection
Measure the Bottom/ Under-Strip Temperature using Non Contact Ratio Pyrometers or Thermal Imaging Camera
Bottom Temperature Profile: Comparing drive and operator side variation: Measuring range 450-1800°C
Measure the bottom profile temperature to prevent hook-up / cobble
Technology now available for both point and profile bottom side temperature measurement
Compare the edge temperature difference between operator and drive side temperature.
Point under-strip Temperature: Measuring range from 600 to 2000°C
Due to its short measuring wavelength the ratio pyrometer is especially suited for measurement of high metal temperatures and the very short response time allows for surveillance of very fast processes.

Case Study Number
- TP3
Challenge
- The increasing flexibility of production lines requires a high adaptability of sensors. Continually changing object geometries, different temperatures and very high radiation or surrounding temperatures are no rarity.
- In a pilger mill those rough conditions can be found, among others in the production of seemless steel pipes. The raw steel blocks, each weighing a few tons are heated up first in a round oven at a temperature of 1300 °C.
- After descaling of the surface, the steel block is prepunched in a hole press with a strength from a converted 2000 t. In the next sloping rolling mill the growing pipe rotates between two rollers that are positioned at an angle to each other. The punching is widened to the size of the mandrel diameter.

Solution
- The sensor that was installed at this application is the HMD OKA 2038.38 G with tube OL 19.
- The signal of the infrared sensors controls the movement of centering device and abutment. The point of view is restricted by the tube and prevents disturbances by steam in the cooling phase.
- An optimum adaptation to the operating conditions is given due to the adjustable response temperature. The HMD with self-learning response temperature (Auto-Teach function) is suited to continually changing conditions.
- The compact sensor with a stainless steel housing can withstand surrounding temperatures of up to 75° C. The use of a cooling jacket raises this up to 200° C.
- Alternatively sensors with fibre optic cables are available which permit an application at ambient temperatures up to 600° C without cooling.
