Infrared Thermometers

How infrared thermometers work: emissivity, distance-to-spot ratio, choosing a model and measuring food, water and glass accurately.

Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 What is Emissivity? An infrared thermometer is a measuring instrument that detects the amount of infrared energy radiated from the surface of a material using an… 2 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 How to set the emissivity Accurate emissivity must be set in order to accurately measure the temperature of the material surface with a radiation thermometer. For that… 2 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 The relationship between the distance & measurement range (D:S). The ratio between the distance to the measurement target (D: Distance) and the diameter of the measurement area (S: Spot size) in… 1 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 Advantages and Disadvantages of Contact and Non-Contact Thermometers Contact Thermometers: Temperature measurement devices are broadly divided into two types: non-contact (infrared) thermometers and contact thermometers. Each type, non-contact and contact thermometers, has… 1 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 Measuring Water Temperature in Fishing Using a Radiation Thermometer Have You Considered Water Temperature While Fishing? Fish are known to be sensitive to even a 1°C change in water temperature, which… 1 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5635 Measuring Temperature of Water and Glass through Infrared Thermometers Can temperatures be measured through water or glass using an infrared thermometer? Water, being transparent and colorless, might initially seem to have… 2 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5611A Temperature measurement during cooking using an infrared thermometer When cooking dishes such as frying or stir-frying, do you pay attention to the temperature of the oil or the frying pan?… 2 min read Infrared Thermometers AD-5611A How to choose an infrared thermometer Your choice of infrared thermometer will depend on the size of and distance to the target object being measured.
