Thermometer environmental conditions considerations
The environmental conditions in which the thermometer is located have a great impact on the measurement results, which should be considered and appropriately resolved, otherwise it will affect the temperature measurement accuracy and even cause damage to the thermometer. When the ambient temperature is too high and dust, smoke and steam are present, accessories such as protective covers, water cooling, air cooling systems, and air purges provided by the manufacturer can be used. These accessories effectively address environmental impacts and protect the thermometer for accurate temperature measurement. When determining accessories, standardize services should be requested as much as possible to reduce installation costs. When smoke, dust or other particles reduce the measurement energy signal, a two-color thermometer is the best choice. Fiber optic two-color thermometer is the best choice in environments with noise, electromagnetic fields, vibration or inaccessible environments, or other harsh conditions.
In sealed or hazardous material applications (such as containers or vacuum chambers), the thermometer observes through a window. The material must be strong enough and pass through the operating wavelength range of the thermometer used. Also determine whether the operator also needs to observe through the window, so choose the appropriate installation location and window material to avoid mutual influence. In low-temperature measurement applications, Ge or Si materials are usually used as windows, which are opaque to visible light, and the human eye cannot observe the target through the window. If the operator needs to pass through the window target, an optical material that transmits both infrared radiation and visible light should be used, such as ZnSe or BaF2, as the window material.
Simple operation and easy to use:
Infrared thermometers should be intuitive, simple to operate, and easy to use for staff. The portable infrared thermometer is a small, lightweight instrument that integrates temperature measurement and display output and can be carried by people for temperature measurement. The panel can display temperature and output various temperature information, and some can be operated by remote control or computer software program.
In the case of harsh and complex environmental conditions, you can choose a system with separate temperature measuring heads and monitors to facilitate installation and configuration. The signal output form can be selected to match the current control equipment.
