Compare High-Precision Infrared Thermometers and Imagers
Infrared temperature measurement technology in the production process, product quality control and monitoring, online fault diagnosis and safety protection of equipment and energy saving plays an important role. In the past 20 years, high-precision infrared thermometer in the rapid development of technology, performance continues to improve, functionality continues to enhance, the variety continues to increase, the scope of application is also expanding. Than the contact temperature measurement method, infrared temperature measurement has a fast response time, non-contact, safe to use and long service life and other advantages.
Comparison of high-precision infrared thermometer and infrared thermal imager:
Infrared thermal imager is also known as infrared thermal imaging camera, infrared thermal imaging camera is a non-contact through the detector to detect infrared (heat) energy temperature measurement equipment, and will be converted into electronic signals to be processed, and then in the video display to generate thermal images. While the infrared thermometer is the use of photodetectors, the use of infrared energy focused on the photodetector and transformed into a corresponding electrical signal. The signal is then converted into the temperature value of the target to be measured. This is the difference between the two principles of temperature measurement. The same point is through the detector to make the detected signal into an electrical signal.
In terms of use, the thermal imaging camera is to detect heat, while the infrared thermometer is to test the temperature. This is the fundamental difference between the two. An infrared camera is a testing device that detects infrared energy (heat) by non-contact detection and converts it into an electrical signal, which in turn generates a thermal image and a temperature value on a display and allows the temperature value to be calculated. Infrared thermometer by the optical system, photoelectric detector, signal and signal processing, display output and other components. Optical system convergence of its field of view of the target infrared radiation energy, its infrared thermography favors object imaging, such as military human imaging infrared thermography. And infrared thermometer favors object temperature, looking for hot spots, temperature distribution and so on. Adjust the instrument temperature detection upper limit and lower limit of the different to find the temperature of the object. General industrial use is more.
