How Infrared Temperature Measurement Works...
Infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance by detecting the amount of thermal electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object being measured. This allows the user to accurately measure surface temperatures in hazardous or hard-to-reach places or other situations in which non-contact temperature measurement is desirable. Infrared thermometer technology is useful in a wide range of applications – including hobbyist, industrial, laboratory, food service, and home use.
While the technology is relatively simple, the myriad of names given to these devices can be confusing. "Laser Thermometers" makes reference to the laser that helps aim the thermometer."IR Sensors" and "IR Thermometers" make use of a common abbreviation for "infrared". "Non-Contact Thermometers" is a description of the device’s ability to measure temperature from a distance. "Radiation Pyrometers" is a
scientific/technical term for these devices.
