Infrared thermometers are superior to traditional contact thermometers.
1. Convenient! Infrared thermometers can quickly provide temperature measurement. Within the time it takes to read a leakage connection point with a thermocouple, the infrared thermometer can almost read the temperature of all connection points. In addition, the infrared thermometer is sturdy, lightweight (all less than 10 ounces), and easy to place in a leather case when not in use. So you can carry it with you during factory inspections and daily inspections.
2. Accurate! Another advanced feature of infrared thermometers is their accuracy, typically within 1 degree. This performance is particularly important when conducting preventive maintenance, such as monitoring harsh production conditions and special events that may cause equipment damage or downtime. Because most equipment and factories operate for 365 days, downtime is equivalent to reducing revenue. To prevent such losses, scan all on-site electronic devices - circuit breakers, transformers, fuses, switches, buses, and distribution panels - to find hotspots. With an infrared thermometer, you can even quickly detect small changes in operating temperature, solve problems at their inception, and reduce expenses and maintenance scope caused by equipment failures.
3. Safe! Safety is an important benefit of using infrared thermometers. Unlike contact thermometers, infrared thermometers can safely read target temperatures that are difficult to access or unreachable. You can read the target temperature within the range allowed by the instrument. Non contact temperature measurement can also be carried out in unsafe or difficult contact temperature measurement areas, such as near steam valves or heating furnaces, without the risk of accidentally burning fingers during contact temperature measurement. Accurate measurement of supply/return air temperature 25 feet above the head is as easy as measuring it at hand. Infrared thermometers have laser aiming for easy identification of target areas. With it, your work has become much easier.
