Infrared Thermometers for Non-Contact Temperature Measurements

Infrared thermometers are great alternatives to traditional temperature gauging instruments. Unlike traditional thermometers, infrared thermomters are non contact devices that do not need to come in contact with the surface being measured.

Infrared Thermometer to Measure Human Temprature

Infrared thermometer can even be used to measure a persons temperature. Just point, shoot and read. No waiting or putting the thermometer under the tongue or the armpits. With this great instrument, you don't even have to wait for the stipulated time as with conventional temperature gauging instruments. It takes less than one second to register the temperature.

Non-Contact Infrared Thermometers

In addition to non contact temperature measurement, infrared thermometer have other useful features. Most models have user selectable units for either °F or °C. They also have built-in laser pointers that identify the target area to be measured. Most units also have back lighting of the LCD display to illuminate the readings for measurement in the dark, at night or in areas with low background light levels.

Infrared thermometer are user friendly instruments that can be used by anybody for numerous applications. They are also compact and can be carried anywhere and everywhere in a tool box, bag, or some can fit in your pocket. For proper selection of the infrared thermometer that is right for your application you should consider the temperature range that needs to be measured and the distance between the infrared thermometer and the object or material being measured. Also give consideration to your needs for additional kits or supplies to accompany your infrared thermometer although many come standard with a case and battery.
