Hot Metal Detector

A Hot Metal Detector is an instrument that detects the presence of metal nearby. Hot Metal detector are useful for finding metal inclusions hidden within objects. Hot Metal Detectors (HMDs) detect the infrared radiation which is emitted by hot material. When the material temperature exceeds or falls below a specific threshold (response temperature), they provide a switching signal; seen from this perspective, they are often called also Temperature Switches. Hot Metal Detectors (HMD) are designed for tracking hot products at the different stages of the hot rolling process.
