Measuring instrument able to measure the temperature of objects (items) with different ratio of radiation at a certain distance, called a pyrometer (infrared thermometer).
This external portable thermometer enables measurements of temperature at a distance and in real time. Many models are equipped with a laser designator. To subject sent electromagnetic waves. After receiving them back, the device reads the data and displays them on a display screen. Additionally it is possible to save a parameter value in a memory of the thermometer BALTECH TL-0208C or in the form of a trend graph in the software BALTECH-Expert.
Performing temperature testing, consider the surface of the measured object (the object) and the environmental parameters. We must remember that the measuring device measures the surface temperature of the object (subject) and not what’s inside. An example is people. In normal state its temperature is between 36-36. 6 degrees centigrade. But if you send IR outdoor thermometer on a man who tans under the sun, the temperature will be higher.
An important role plays and the optical resolution of the device (the operating range of the pyrometer depends on this characteristic). If you want to be from objects far away, get a thermometer with high optical resolution (e.g., at least 50:1, as the models BALTECH TL). Naturally, the higher the ratio of sight, the more expensive it will be worth the device. The cost of the pyrometer depends on the measurement range. The higher the measured temperature, the more expensive.
This measuring tool looks like a toy gun with a laser target indicator. Note that many cheap thermometers can be operated in the home. Besides, they do not require a license and different certificates for home use.
Outdoor thermometer (pyrometer) belongs to the group of measuring instruments non-destructive testing. This allows consumers to measure temperatures without direct contact with the surface to be measured. So it is guaranteed the safety of operations in the diagnosis of defects and monitoring of different processes.
The principle of IR thermometers series “ThermaLine” – the measurement of the absolute values of energy which radiates object. If you require high accuracy and optical resolution, if the emissivity of the object change and the conditions for measuring the adverse, it is recommended that the operation of the pyrometers of spectral relation. For temperature control of hidden object we recommend to apply the infrared window BALTECH TR-75W.
