What is a handheld infrared thermometer?
Everything on Earth emits infrared radiation. A handheld infrared thermometer detects this radiation, converts it into a voltage output that is instantly displayed as a temperature. The temperature can be read digitally on a graphic display or as a thermal image. This presents the temperatures as a colour spectrum on your display for thermal analysis.
Applications for handheld infrared thermometers
Handheld infrared thermometers are often used for preventive maintenance, monitoring and inspection; for example, the preventive maintenance of electrical and mechanical equipment, and the monitoring of chilled food industry products during storage, transport, in refrigerators and display units. They can also be used to measure crop temperatures in greenhouses when you need to monitor the growing climate.
Handheld thermometers make light work of taking quick and accurate readings at several locations, heights and spaces. Check whether temperatures meet requirements and monitor your process or product.
