Notes when using infrared thermometer

[2012-02-08]

In order to let the infrared thermometer measurement more accurate, the instrument to measure object on the instrument according to flip-flop, read on the temperature data, LCD and ensure good distance and flare dimensions arrange than, and field of view. Infrared thermometer issues need to be paid attention to when using are as follows:
Positioning, to find hot, hot, then aims in instrument on target make fluctuation scanning movement, until sure hotspot.
Not through the glass for temperature measuring, glass has a very special reflection and through characteristics, don't allow precise infrared temperature readings. But through ir window temperature measurement. Infrared thermometer had better not used for light or polished metal surface temperature (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).
Only measuring surface temperature, infrared thermometer cannot measure internal temperature.
The attention environment conditions: steam, dust, smoke, etc. It traps instrument optical system and influence accurate temperature measurement.
Environmental temperature, if the thermometer exposed to environmental temperature sudden for 20 ℃ or higher cases, allow instrument in 20 minutes to adjust to the new environment temperature.
