CTi P3
The Optris CTi P3 pyrometer is designed for precise temperature measurement of thin plastic films, utilizing a spectral range of 3.43 µm for accuracy between 35 °C and 600 °C.
While plastics thicker than 0.4 mm and pigmented films are easily measured in the long-wavelength IR spectral range, very thin plastic films are transparent in this spectral range. Therefore, thin foil plastics require specific narrow-band sensitive IR sensors that match material-specific absorption bands in the IR spectrum to measure their temperature.
The IR thermometer has a rapid response time of 15 ms and can withstand temperatures up to 85 °C. Its electronics box offers various outputs, and optional accessories enhance functionality for industrial use.
CTi P3 — Important Features:

- - Spectral range: 3.43 µm
- - Response time: 15 ms
The Optris CTi P3 pyrometer is engineered with precision to accurately measure the temperature of thin plastic films. The pyrometers specialized spectral range of 3.43 µm ensures precise measurements within a broad temperature range, spanning from 35 °C to 600 °C.
Emissivity is a crucial factor in non-contact temperature measurement and must be considered based on various factors, including material properties and wavelength. Plastics thicker than 0.4 mm and pigmented films can be easily measured in the long-wavelength IR spectral range (8-14 μm) with emissivity of ≥ 0.9. However, very thin plastic films are transparent in this range, necessitating temperature measurement through material-specific absorption bands in the IR spectrum via narrow-band sensitive IR sensors. Materials like Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Cellophane, Polystyrene (PS), Polymethylmethacrylate or Acrylic (PMMA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyester (PET), and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC or Vinyl) exhibit IR opaqueness at 3.43 μm, while polyester, polyurethane, Teflon, FEP, and polyamide exhibit this property at 7.9 μm.
The CTi P3 infrared thermometer, with its extremely narrow-band spectral range of 3.43 μm, is ideal for measuring the temperature of very thin plastic materials. The infrared sensors temperature range spans from 35 °C to 600 °C, and it offers a rapid response time of 15ms. The sensing head can withstand temperatures of up to 85 °C without requiring additional cooling. The separate electronics box is equipped with easily accessible programming buttons and a backlit LCD display.
The Optris CTi P3 series infrared sensor emphasizes adaptability, featuring an electronics box with a wide array of analog and digital outputs, including 0/4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 V, 0 – 10 V, thermocouple (type K), built-in-USB, or optional IP67 USB interface kit, RS485, RS232 interfaces, relay outputs (2 x optically isolated), Profinet, and Ethernet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, IO Link and EtherCAT. Optional accessories further enhance its functionality, catering to diverse industrial needs. The mounting fork ensures secure and stable installation for continuous temperature monitoring, while the sighting tube enables precision targeting and improved accuracy in specific applications. The close-focus lens facilitates detailed temperature measurements on small or distant objects. The air purge accessory safeguards the temperature sensor from contaminants in harsh environments, and cooling jackets optimize performance in elevated temperature conditions, ensuring consistent and accurate readings. These optional accessories significantly expand the versatility of the Optris CTi P3 series, providing tailored solutions for varied industrial scenarios.
In summary, the Optris CTi P3 series pyrometer combines precision, adaptability, and durability to facilitate non-contact temperature measurements. Whether capturing rapid manufacturing processes or operating in challenging conditions, the IR pyrometer offers a reliable and efficient solution for diverse industrial applications.
