Comparison between high-precision infrared thermometer and thermal imaging instrument
Infrared temperature measurement technology plays an important role in production processes, product quality control and monitoring, online fault diagnosis and safety protection of equipment, and energy conservation. In the past 20 years, high-precision infrared thermometers have rapidly developed in technology, with continuously improved performance, enhanced functionality, increased variety, and expanded applicability. Compared to contact temperature measurement methods, infrared temperature measurement has advantages such as fast response time, non-contact, safe use, and long service life.
Comparison between high-precision infrared thermometer and infrared thermal imager:
Infrared thermal imager, also known as infrared thermal imager, is a non-contact temperature measurement device that detects infrared (thermal) energy through a detector, converts it into electronic signals for processing, and generates thermal images on a video display. The infrared thermometer uses a photodetector to focus infrared energy on the photodetector and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal. The signal is then converted into the temperature value of the measured target. This is the difference in temperature measurement principles between the two. The similarities are all achieved by converting detected signals into electrical signals through detectors.
In terms of usage, infrared thermal imagers detect heat, while infrared thermometers test temperature. This is the fundamental difference between the two. Infrared thermal imager is a detection device that detects infrared energy (heat) through non-contact detection, converts it into electrical signals, and generates thermal images and temperature values on the display, and can calculate temperature values. The infrared thermometer consists of an optical system, a photodetector, a signal amplifier, signal processing, display output, and other components. The optical system gathers the infrared radiation energy of the target in its field of view, and its infrared thermal imager focuses on object imaging, such as the infrared thermal imager for military human imaging. The infrared thermometer focuses on the temperature of objects, searching for hot spots, temperature distribution, and so on. Adjust the difference between the upper and lower temperature detection limits of the instrument to find the object with the desired temperature. There are many general industrial uses.
