Fluke 566 – A Must-Have Infrared Thermometer
An infrared thermometer determines temperature by measuring the thermal radiation emitted by an object. This means that temperatures can be measured without coming into direct contact with the object. This is not only useful for measuring the temperature of difficult-to-reach areas, but it also allows for precise measurements of moving parts or objects in controlled environments. Infrared thermometers have a lens that focuses infrared radiation onto a detector, which converts it into a readable electronic signal. As a result, nearby objects emitting their own thermal radiation may interfere with the measurement–even the user’s own thermal body temperature.
Most non-contact thermometers can be calibrated to reduce interference and tailor the device to the application at hand. An IR thermometer is a versatile and simple-to-use temperature measurement solution with adjustable temperature ranges and distance-to-spot ratios. Handheld infrared thermometers have a laser for aiming, so you can be sure your non-contact measurement is accurate.
What Kind of Infrared Thermometer Do You Need?
Non-contact infrared thermometers are typically robust and versatile, with LCD screens capable of displaying either easily discernible numerical values or more advanced real-time heat map overlays. Because models differ in terms of accuracy and maximum temperatures measured, it is simple to choose an IR thermometer that best meets your needs and budget.
For added convenience, pocket-size models are available, as are ATEX models for use in hazardous environments. Temperature guns frequently include extra features such as laser aiming, adjustable emissivity settings, and data logging capabilities. Thermometer lasers combine laser aiming precision with infrared temperature measurement. They are especially useful for long-distance measurements or when direct contact is not possible.
For non-contact temperature measurement, infrared thermometers, temperature guns, and thermometer lasers provide exceptional versatility and efficiency. Because of their non-invasive nature, quick response time, and wide temperature range, it is simple to choose a model that best meets your needs and budget.
Fluke 566 Thermal Gun Infrared & Contact Thermometer
The Fluke 566 IR and contact thermometer has a simple three-button on-screen menu interface (in six languages) that makes measuring temperature easier than ever. With a few button presses, you can quickly navigate the advanced features to adjust emissivity, start data logging, or turn alarms on and off. The Fluke 566 can also withstand harsh industrial, electrical, and mechanical environments thanks to its rugged, easy-to-use, ergonomic design.
