Learn how to use the infrared thermometer
What other instructions are needed for using the infrared thermometer? Can I just hold it and use it? Yes, the infrared thermometer is lightweight in design, easy to use, and can be used without training. But recently, when a user communicated with Wuhan Yongsheng Technology customer service, he asked a very strange question: When using a handheld infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of an oil tank, will the red infrared ray burn the oil? Our customer service replied, definitely not. The handheld infrared thermometer is a non-contact measurement and is very safe. The red one is not infrared, it is for aiming. It can be seen from this exchange that there are still users who do not know enough about infrared thermometers, so it is necessary for us to introduce some common sense about infrared thermometers here to increase users' understanding of infrared thermometers.
1. The infrared thermometer passively accepts the infrared energy radiated by the target surface and then measures the temperature. Red laser aiming points are not infrared and are not radioactive like X-rays;
2. The infrared thermometer can only measure the temperature of the target surface, not the internal temperature of the target, and does not have a penetration function;
3. When infrared thermometer is used to measure bright or smooth metal surfaces, it will produce large measurement errors;
4. The temperature measurement point of the infrared thermometer is not the point where the laser is aimed, but is generally at a lower position;
5. When using an infrared thermometer to measure temperature, the measured target should fill the field of view of the infrared thermometer;
6. In measurement environments with dust, water vapor, smoke, etc., choose a two-color infrared thermometer for measurement;
7. The infrared thermometer does not measure as far as you want. It must use the distance system ratio D:S to determine the measurable temperature distance based on the size of the target being measured.
