Why should I use an infrared thermometer to measure temperature in my various applications?
Laser or infrared thermometers allow users to measure temperature in applications where conventional contact sensors are not capable of operating. In particular, in cases where you encounter moving objects (eg rollers, moving machines or conveyor belts) to measure temperature, or in cases where non-contact measurements due to contamination or dangerous causes (such as high voltage) It is necessary to use these temperature sensors where the distance is too great or where the measured temperature is too high for thermocouples or contact sensors.
What parameters should I consider when using an infrared thermometer?
Important considerations for any choice of infrared thermometer include field of view (target size and distance), type of surface measured (emission activity considerations), spectral response (due to atmospheric effects or transmission through surfaces), temperature range and installation (manual installation) Portable or fixed) Other considerations include response time, environment, installation restrictions, and signal processing
What is the meaning of field of vision and why is it important?
The field of view is the angle of view in which the laser or infrared thermometer operates and is determined by the optical unit. To obtain the exact temperature, the target to be measured must completely fill the field of view of the device. Because the infrared device determines the average temperature of all surfaces within the field of view, a measurement error can occur if the background temperature is different from the body temperature. Most thermometers are advanced and offer solutions to this problem from well-known companies, and by laser targeting, they display the target or the target in a circle with several lasers or points in the center. For example, in the case of a circle, a laser view showing the diameter or circumference of a circle clearly indicates the measurement of the area in question. In dot mode, a single laser dot identifies the center of the measurement area.
