Fluke 568 – An All in One Naturally Safe Tool

An infrared thermometer determines temperature by measuring the thermal radiation emitted by an object. This allows temperatures to be monitored from a distance without making physical contact, making it ideal for hard-to-reach regions and precise measurements of moving parts or objects in controlled environments. Infrared thermometers employ a lens to focus infrared radiation onto a detector, converting it into a readable electronic signal. However, adjacent items releasing thermal radiation, including the user’s body temperature, can interfere with the measurement.

 

Most non-contact thermometers can be calibrated to reduce interference and tailor the device to specific purposes. With customizable temperature ranges and distance-to-spot ratios, an IR thermometer is a versatile and simple temperature measurement tool. The RS range of infrared thermometers includes high-quality versions from prominent brands like Fluke.
