Few Important Things You Must Know About Thermal Cameras

Image
  All objects present in our surrounding emits infrared energy, which represents heat energy. Infrared energy is often known as thermal energy which actually detects and measures the infrared energy of the object. The device used in this process is called a thermal camera that converts the collected infrared data into an electronic image that represents the apparent surface temperature of the object being measured. The device contains an optical system that allows the infrared beam onto a special detector called a sensor array. It is having thousands of detector pixels arranged in a grid. It is a non-contact device that helps us to visualize the heat energy of the object on the display screen with a special color representation. The heat energy of the object clearly represents the temperature behavior of the object. While using these devices you must consider the following key features that will help you to capture effective temperature changes. Resolution: It represents the number o

What are some uses of an infrared thermometer?

 Infrared thermometer also know as IR gun is a non-contact temperature measuring instrument that gives precise readings and can be used for several applications. It can be used in food industry to carry out quick and reliable temperature measurement of food products and food safety checks during incoming and storage of goods. These instruments not only measure the temperature but has an integrated moisture sensor that allows you to measure surface moisture too. In industrial applications, these IR thermometers can determine the temperature of moving or rotating parts to monitor asset conditions. It also helps to detect mould in buildings before it’s too late. For refrigeration & air conditioning systems, these instruments can be used to determine the health of the system or tube fittings

Can you take body temperature with an infrared thermometer?

Infrared thermometer enables the user to carry out efficient and non contact temperature measurement of any body. Fitted with precise sensor, this temperature gun captures the IR rays emitted by a body and the readings are displayed on the instrument screen in °C or °F. Also there are different types/grades of IR thermometers like industrial and medical grade. Medical thermometers are used for fever detection and body temperature measurement. The instrument is aimed at the forehead of the person and the temperature gets recorded in the intruments. Some, IR guns also have option laser pointer which is used to mark the area of measurement. This generally is used in industrial applications for taking measurements on equipment surface
