Damage Factors for Infrared Thermometers
There are three factors that lead to the damage of infrared thermometers, including three main factors: light factors, high temperature factors, and humidity factors. The following three factors are briefly interpreted.
1. Light factor
The structure and composition of different products of infrared thermometers also vary in the intensity of light. For example, those durable materials, such as plastics, paints, etc., these product materials will not produce serious aging when exposed to light. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the material composition of the product equipment.
2. High temperature factor
When the ambient temperature rises due to high temperature, the intensity of light and the degree of damage will increase. There is no direct chemical reaction between temperature and light, but there is a subtle connection between them. Therefore, when testing the programmable infrared two-color thermometer product, it is necessary to grasp the precise temperature range.
3. Moisture factor
Usually, some moisture, rain, dew, etc. are the factors that cause moisture. Dew formed by moisture is the main factor of outdoor humidity. Dew is more harmful than rain because it adheres to the material. The longer the time, the more serious moisture absorption will be caused. For example, the surface aging layer of the wood coating is removed by rain washing, and the unaged inner layer is exposed to sunlight, resulting in further aging. In the infrared thermometer simulation test, the damage mechanism of composite materials caused by humid environment has been studied clearly. Taking the diffusion of moisture to carbon fiber epoxy resin laminates as an example, the aging mechanism of composite materials in humid atmospheric environment is illustrated.
These three factors are crucial to the impact of product equipment, any one of them can quickly shorten the service life of the thermometer.
