The difference between infrared thermometer and infrared thermal imaging camera
1. Infrared thermometers measure the average temperature in a circular area, while infrared thermal imaging cameras measure the temperature distribution on a surface;
2. Infrared thermometers cannot display visible light images, while infrared thermal imaging cameras can capture visible light images like a camera;
3. Infrared thermometers cannot produce infrared thermal images, but infrared thermal imaging cameras can produce infrared thermal images in real time;
4. Infrared thermometers use the distance coefficient ratio D:S to determine the detectable distance and detectable target size, while infrared thermal imaging cameras are determined by infrared pixels, field of view and spatial resolution;
5. Infrared thermometers have no data storage function, while infrared thermal imaging cameras can store and annotate data;
6. The handheld infrared thermometer does not have an output function, but the infrared thermal imaging camera has an output function;
Thermal imaging camera
Infrared thermal imaging technology has applications in both military and civilian applications. It originally originated from military use and gradually transitioned to civilian use. In civilian use, they are generally called thermal imaging cameras. They are mainly used in research and development or industrial inspection and equipment maintenance. They are also widely used in fire protection, night vision and security. In layman's terms, a thermal imaging camera converts the invisible infrared energy emitted by an object into a visible thermal image. The different colors on the thermal image represent different temperatures of the object being measured.
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.
