Advantages of Using IR Thermometers

Infrared technology has been utilized successfully in industrial and research settings for decades, and with new innovations to reduce costs and increase reliability, Raytek’s infrared technology has created sensors that offer smaller units of measurement. All of these factors have led infrared technology to become an area of interest for new kinds of applications and users.

What are the advantages offered by noncontact temperature measurement?

Save time; allowing for more measurements and accumulation of data.
Measure moving targets.
Measure hazardous or inaccessible objects (high-voltage parts, great measurement distance).
Measure high temperatures (greater than 1300°C).
There is no energy interference; no energy is lost from the target.
There is no risk of contamination and mechanical effect on the target.
