Infrared thermometers, pyrometers

The topic of contactless temperature measurement is becoming increasingly important.
This applies both to the measurement of surface temperature and to the measurement of body temperature.

Body temperature measurement is currently of particular importance for detecting possible coronavirus (COVID-19) infections.
A COVID-19 thermometer or temperature gauge for hygienic, contactless fever screening reduces the risk of infection through physical contact in this context.
A COVID-safe Thermometer should therefore form part of the personal protective equipment of anyone required to carry out such checks.
In particular, routine temperature checks on employees within companies enable appropriate precautionary measures and the early detection of possible COVID-19 infections.
  An increasing number of companies in the retail and wholesale sectors, as well as in industry and commerce, etc., are carrying out such precautionary checks to protect staff before they enter the premises.

  Infrared temperature meters, also known as laser temperature meters (pyrometers), enable quick and straightforward measurement of surface temperature.
An infrared thermometer allows measurements to be taken in hard-to-reach places or during dynamic processes with minimal effort.

Infrared measuring devices combine state-of-the-art technology to ensure compliance with hygiene and process regulations, whilst now being available at very attractive prices per unit.
Laser temperature measurement, for example in the food industry, enables immediate and contactless measurement of food temperatures upon goods receipt, thereby ensuring compliance with the specified transport temperature. This allows for a simple check to ensure the cold chain is maintained
, at least upon arrival of the goods
Possible parameters that can be measured using an infrared temperature measuring device include:
- Fever
- Food temperatures
- Mould growth
- Core temperature measurement with a penetration probe
- Process temperatures
 

In cool ambient temperatures, most devices require a certain amount of time to stabilise.
In many cases, it is necessary to calibrate the infrared Thermometer using a reference Thermometer. Please refer to the relevant user manuals for details of this simple and quick procedure.
The measurement should not be taken from too great a distance from the object being measured, as this may result in an inaccurate reading.
