IRISS Introduces the CAP-HT-100 Series: High-Temperature Inspection Windows for Extreme Industrial Environments

At IRISS, we are committed to advancing industrial safety and inspection efficiency, even in high-temperature environments where traditional inspection methods fall short. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the new CAP-HT-100 Series, a groundbreaking lineup of high-temperature infrared and Gold Cup inspection windows engineered to withstand extreme heat while providing safe, clear access for thermal, UV, Gold Cup and visual inspections.

Designed for the Harshest Industrial Conditions

Industries such as glass manufacturing, steel production, cement, and power generation require constant monitoring of furnaces, boilers, and other high-heat equipment. Standard inspection ports can degrade under extreme conditions, becoming obstructed by dust and residue or failing due to thermal stress.

The CAP-HT-100 Series is specifically designed to solve these challenges, offering unparalleled durability and optical clarity in environments with surface temperatures reaching 1832°F (1000°C). These inspection windows allow maintenance teams to conduct critical thermal imaging and temperature monitoring without exposing personnel to dangerous heat or disrupting operations.

Three Models to Meet Diverse High-Temperature Needs

The CAP-HT-100 Series includes three variations, each optimized for different industrial inspection requirements:

The CAP-HT-100 is a high-temperature infrared inspection window designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Built with a rugged sapphire crystal lens, it provides exceptional clarity for shortwave (SWIR) and midwave (MWIR) infrared inspections, as well as ultraviolet (UV) and visual monitoring. By enabling sealed inspections, the CAP-HT-100 helps prevent heat loss and reduces risks to personnel, eliminating the need to open access doors in extreme heat settings. To further enhance durability, the window features sliding stainless steel dust covers, which protect the optic from debris buildup and ensure a consistently clear, unobstructed view over time.

For industries requiring both infrared thermography and precise temperature measurement, the CAP-HT-100-AP expands on the capabilities of the standard model by incorporating a Gold Cup port for pyrometer-based temperature monitoring. In addition to supporting highly accurate SWIR and MWIR thermography, this model allows for detailed process monitoring and equipment health assessments without exposing personnel to extreme heat. By eliminating the need to open access doors, the CAP-HT-100-AP minimizes thermal shock risks and reduces heat loss, making it an essential tool for furnaces and high-temperature enclosures where maintaining stable operating conditions is critical.

The CAP-HT-100-P is purpose-built for Gold Cup pyrometer inspections, offering a dedicated, high-clarity viewport for the most precise temperature measurement of high-heat processes. Constructed with high-temperature stainless steel and featuring NovaMica HiTemp gaskets, this inspection window is designed for long-term durability in harsh industrial environments. By enabling non-intrusive temperature monitoring, the CAP-HT-100-P allows maintenance teams to gather accurate thermal data without requiring direct exposure to extreme temperatures, enhancing both safety and efficiency in high-temperature applications.

Unmatched Safety, Efficiency, and Durability

The CAP-HT-100 Series delivers major benefits for industrial maintenance teams, helping optimize inspections and improve equipment longevity while reducing downtime and operational risks.

• Extreme High-Temperature Performance – Built to withstand continuous exposure up to 1832°F (1000°C), making it ideal for steel, glass, cement, and power industries.
• Safe, Sealed Inspections – Allows for thermal imaging, UV, and Gold Cup inspections without opening enclosures, improving safety and reducing heat loss.
• Rugged, Maintenance-Free Design – Sapphire crystal optics, high-temperature stainless steel housing, and protective dust covers ensure long-term durability in extreme conditions.

Future-Proofing High-Temperature Inspections

With the CAP-HT-100 Series, IRISS is setting a new standard for high-temperature industrial process monitoring. These inspection windows provide the clarity, safety, and durability needed to inspect critical equipment in extreme heat environments, helping industries maintain operational efficiency and equipment reliability.
