The Difference Between Industrial and IR Thermometers
1. Measuring distance
The measurement distance of infrared thermometer is relatively short. Generally, infrared probes are measured at a distance of more than ten centimeters from the forehead. However, the measurement distance of industrial thermometer needs to ensure the safety of personnel. The distance should be much larger, a few centimeters if it is close, and it can be far if it is far. Up to tens of meters.
2. Measuring range
The range of infrared thermometers is generally between 3045°C, but the range of industrial thermometers is much larger, ranging from tens of degrees below zero to more than 3,000 degrees Celsius.
3. Measurement accuracy
Because the infrared thermometer measures human body temperature and has a small measurement range, its measurement accuracy is more accurate than that of industrial thermometers, generally within 0.1°C.
Infrared thermometer
Infrared temperature measurement technology plays an important role in product quality control and monitoring, equipment online fault diagnosis and safety protection, and energy conservation during the production process. In the past 20 years, non-contact infrared human body thermometers have developed rapidly in technology, their performance has been continuously improved, their functions have been continuously enhanced, their varieties have continued to increase, and their scope of application has also continued to expand.
Compared with contact temperature measurement methods, infrared temperature measurement has the advantages of fast response time, non-contact, safe use and long service life. Non-contact infrared thermometers include three series: portable, online and scanning, and are equipped with various options and computer software. Each series has various models and specifications. Among various models of thermometers with different specifications, it is very important for users to correctly select the model of infrared thermometer.
Industrial thermometer
Industrial thermometers use a wide emissivity range of 0.1-1, and can handle differentiated measurements of a variety of materials. The temperature ranges from tens of degrees below zero to thousands of degrees, and the accuracy error will be relatively large.
