Infrared thermometers must be used with proper consideration given to environmental conditions.
Environmental conditions where the thermometer is located have a significant impact on measurement results and must be taken into account and properly addressed; otherwise, they will affect temperature measurement accuracy or even cause damage to the thermometer.Under conditions of high ambient temperature, dust, smoke, and steam, accessories such as protective sleeves, water cooling, air cooling systems, and air purgers provided by the manufacturer can be selected. These accessories effectively mitigate environmental interference, protect the thermometer, and ensure accurate temperature measurement.When selecting accessories, standardized services should be requested as much as possible to reduce installation costs.When smoke, dust, or other particles attenuate the measurement energy signal, a two-color thermometer is the optimal choice.Under harsh conditions such as noise, electromagnetic fields, vibration, inaccessible environments, or other severe conditions, a fiber-optic two-color thermometer is the best option.
For applications involving sealed or hazardous materials (such as vessels or vacuum chambers), the thermometer observes targets through a window.The window material must be sufficiently strong and transparent to the operating wavelength range of the thermometer.It is also necessary to determine whether operators need to observe through the same window, so appropriate installation positions and window materials should be selected to avoid mutual interference.In low-temperature measurement applications, the window is opaque to visible light, making direct visual observation impossible.If operators need to view the target through the window, optical materials transparent to both infrared radiation and visible light should be used.
Infrared thermometers must be selected appropriately for the actual conditions.In harsh and complex environments, a system with a separate sensing head and display unit can be chosen for easier installation and configuration.A signal output format compatible with existing control equipment can also be selected.
