The difference between industrial thermometers and infrared thermometers

 

1. Measuring distance


The measurement distance of the infrared thermometer is relatively short. Generally, the infrared probe is measured at a distance of more than ten centimeters from the forehead, while the measurement of the industrial thermometer needs to ensure the safety of personnel. 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, from tens of degrees below zero to more than 3,000 degrees Celsius.


3. Measurement accuracy


Because the infrared thermometer measures the body temperature of the human body and has a small measurement range, the measurement accuracy is more accurate than that of the industrial thermometer, generally at 0.1°C.


Infrared Thermometer


In the production process, infrared temperature measurement technology plays an important role in product quality control and monitoring, equipment online fault diagnosis and safety protection, and energy saving. In the past 20 years, the non-contact infrared human body thermometer has developed rapidly in technology, its performance has been continuously improved, its functions have been continuously enhanced, its varieties have continued to increase, and its 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 of portable, on-line and scanning, and are equipped with various options and computer software, and each series has various models and specifications. Among the various models of thermometers with different specifications, it is very important for users to choose the correct model of infrared thermometer.


Industrial Thermometer


Industrial thermometers use a wide range of emissivity of 0.1-1, which can be used to distinguish and measure a variety of materials. The temperature ranges from tens of degrees below zero to thousands of degrees, and the error in accuracy will be relatively large.
