High-Temperature Imaging for Industrial Precision
Extreme Temperature Capability
The TG298 captures accurate readings from –25°C up to 1080°C, making it suitable for the hottest environments encountered in heavy industry. Its specialised high-temperature mode ensures smooth, stable measurements even when scanning molten materials or furnace equipment.
Enhanced Spot Accuracy
The 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio allows for smaller measurement areas at greater distances, improving safety and accuracy during inspections of hot, inaccessible or hazardous surfaces.
Sharp Thermal Imaging with MSX
FLIR MSX combines visual and thermal images to highlight edges, components and structural details. This makes identifying faults, surface anomalies or hotspots significantly easier compared to traditional IR thermometers.
Engineered for Tough Working Conditions
The TG298 is IP54 rated, drop tested and built to withstand the rigours of industrial work. Whether in a foundry, processing line or boiler room, it remains reliable and ready to use.
Typical Applications
- High-temperature industrial process monitoring
- Furnaces, kilns, boilers and refractory inspection
- Electrical load and switchgear analysis
- Motor, pump and rotating machinery diagnostics
- Manufacturing process control
