Advantages of Non-contact Infrared Thermometers
Non-contact infrared thermometers utilize infrared technology to quickly and conveniently measure the surface temperature of objects. This instrument can deliver fast temperature readings without touching the object, and temperature values are displayed directly on the LCD screen. Robust, powerful and easy-to-use infrared thermometers can safely measure high-temperature, hazardous or hard-to-reach objects. The measurement process will neither contaminate nor damage the measured object. In addition, infrared thermometers can take several readings per second. In contrast, contact temperature measurement methods may take several minutes or longer for each measurement.
In the production process, infrared temperature measurement technology plays an important role in product quality control and monitoring, on-line equipment fault diagnosis, safety protection and energy conservation. Over the past 20 years, non-contact infrared thermometers have achieved rapid technological development, with continuously improved performance, enhanced functions, expanded product varieties and wider application scope. Their market share has increased year by year.
Domestic brands mainly include INFR (Infrared Times), GuangSheng and so on; imported brands include Raytek, Optris and others. The advantages of domestic products lie in high cost performance, lower prices compared with imported products, and convenient and prompt after-sales service.
Compared with contact temperature measurement methods, infrared temperature measurement features fast response time, non-contact operation, safe use and long service life. Non-contact infrared thermometers consist of three major series: portable, online and scanning types, equipped with various optional accessories and computer software. Each series includes multiple models and specifications. For thermometers of different specifications and models, it is critical for users to select the correct model of infrared thermometer.
