The handheld instrument measures the thickness of refractory linings in kilns used in cement and brick production. Instead of the traditional method of drilling about 200 holes for inspection, StratoTest requires only a single borehole for calibration and then measures the lining thickness non-invasively.
The electromagnetic measuring process is non-destructive and poses no danger to the operator.
StratoTest 4500 C allows for the determination of the lining thickness of cement, dolomite, magnesite, or refractory bricks in rotary kilns quickly, thereby significantly reducing inspection times and effort.
Refractory bricks undergo continuous degradation, resulting in a decline in mechanical properties. To monitor the thickness of these bricks, StratoTest 4500 C is the ideal tool to determine the condition of the lining in industrial and rotary kilns.
StratoTest operates on the electromagnetic measuring principle using the metal in the kiln shell as a measurement reflector. As the disc-shaped probe approaches the kiln shell, its electromagnetic fields change depending on the distance to the metal.
A single borehole is sufficient for StratoTest 4500 C to be adjusted to the lining thickness with an individual calibration option for the instrument. Afterward, the entire lining can be measured non-destructively with the instrument.
The handheld probe measures a lining thickness of up to 300 mm.
