ACCURATE TUBE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

LAND® AMETEK Inc. has led industrial infrared temperature measurements for over 75 years, setting the standard for accuracy and reliability in fired heaters, furnaces, and high-temperature process applications worldwide.



The Modular Gold Cup is a non-contact thermometer specifically designed for taking reference measurements in reformers, ethylene furnaces, and fired heaters in the hydrocarbon processing industry. AMETEK Land pioneered the gold-cup blackbody cavity approach—technology that has been continuously refined and modernized for today’s process demands.

Why Furnace Managers and Survey Teams Rely on Gold Cup:


TRUE tube skin temperature: Gold-plated hemispherical reflector creates a black-body cavity, virtually eliminating errors from reflected furnace radiation.


Consistent accuracy: <0.25% + 2 °C accuracy, <1 °C repeatability — even on curved tubes.


Built for harsh environments: Continuous air cooling, IP54 sealing, and modular probe sections for deep furnace access.


Portable & field-ready: Handheld display with live readings, data logging, USB/Bluetooth download, and fast setup.


Built for harsh environments: Continuous air cooling, IP54 sealing, and NEW Modular 180-degree probe sections for deep furnace access.
