IR Lazer Non-Contact Thermometer

Temperature measurements are fundamentally important to numerous industrial processes. However if one is not able to contact the object, measuring temperature may appear difficult. IR non-contact temperature indicator is only a solution for objects that move, rotate or vibrate, are in strong electromagnetic field, located in process chambers or behind windows, combustion gases/flames, surface temperature measurement and many more. Using advanced optic systems and detectors, non-contact infrared thermometers can focus on nearly portion of the 0.7 to 14 micron band. Because every object emits an optimum amount of infrared energy at a specific point along the IR band, each process may require unique sensor model with specific object and detector type. The intensity of an objects emitted infrared energy increases or decreases in proportion to its temperature. It is the emitted energy the targets emissivity that indicates an object's temperature. IR sensors have adjustable emissivity setting usually from 0.1 to 1.
