Pyrometers: measuring high temperatures in hard-to-reach places
Measure temperatures over 1000 degrees at a distance of several meters without touching the object of study. All this is within the power of a pyrometer, also known as an infrared thermometer, a device for contactless temperature measurement. Optical pyrometers are convenient in that even high temperatures can be measured in hard-to-reach places, there is no mechanical impact on the object of study. Laser pyrometers are easy to control and operate, the most popular form of the device looks like a gun.
How it works
The device operates on a non-destructive principle, that is, it measures the temperature without touching the object of study. The pyrometer measures the absolute value of the energy of one wave emitted by the object in the infrared spectrum, i.e. works as an infrared radiation detector, the level of which depends on the temperature of the object.
Despite all the prejudices, the device itself does not emit any harmful rays.
Where pyrometers are used
Today, infrared thermometers are used in various fields. They are indispensable when it is necessary to measure a temperature that is dangerous for the human body or the temperature of a dangerous environment. The device will also easily determine the heat level in hard-to-reach places, indicate cold or hot objects, and help calculate heat leakage. It is often used by builders to check the quality of thermal insulation or damage to it. An optical pyrometer is used to work with electrical and thermal equipment, to support fire safety and transport diagnostics, when checking air conditioning, ventilation and heating systems. A separate area of application of pyrometers is industry: heat power engineering, electric power engineering, metalworking, mechanical engineering, metallurgy.
Additional capabilities of pyrometers
Manufacturers are constantly working to improve their products, so the development of pyrometers does not stand still. Today, the market offers models that can measure temperatures from -50 to 1300 degrees Celsius. In addition to the temperature measurement function, the device records video to a memory card for further transfer to a computer, indicates relative humidity, calculates average values between the minimum and maximum marks, and can also have a number of other useful functions. When choosing an IR pyrometer, you should figure out in advance for what purposes you will use the device, because many additional functions may seem superfluous only at first glance and will be very useful during further operation of the device.
What to pay attention to
When choosing a laser pyrometer, it is necessary to determine its temperature measurement limits, speed, maximum measurement error, laser class and beam length, level of protection from dust and moisture. Another important indicator for the operation of the pyrometer is the weight of the device. In addition to its main qualities, you should, of course, pay attention to the package contents of the device. So, models that transmit information to a PC usually come with a USB cable and software in addition to the instructions, battery and battery. You should also know that, despite the degrees of temperature that the device can measure at a distance, it should be used at temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
We offer a wide range of prices, an excellent selection of pyrometers, as well as contact thermometers and other devices on the German market. For delivery to other regions of the European Union, we use courier services.
Temperature measuring devices from “Messtechnik DERR” – only modern and high-quality offers
The online store “Messtechnik DERR” offers a wide range of devices that measure the temperature of various substances. If you need a thermometer to measure the temperature of a liquid, air or the environment, “Messtechnik DERR” will help you choose the device you need. The range includes both household appliances and devices for work in industrial and laboratory conditions. We have a large selection of devices that can work universally, for example, as a thermometer for measuring water temperature, and an air temperature meter. We offer both contact devices and non-contact infrared devices with a built-in laser. There are temperature sensors with a sharp tip that can measure the temperature of soft materials by puncturing.
What you need to pay attention to when buying a temperature measuring device
When choosing a temperature measuring device, you should pay attention to a number of parameters that are important directly for the high-quality operation of the device. For example, you should find out the measurement limits – depending on the class and direction of work, the device can determine indicators from -50 to +1300 degrees Celsius. This is how professional temperature measuring devices work, in everyday life such parameters are unlikely to be useful, so you can choose a simpler model. It is important to pay attention to the level of error specified by the manufacturer. This indicator is purely individual for each buyer, depending on the purpose of purchasing the device. The temperature at which the device can be used is also important. For example, a pyrometer device, also known as an infrared thermometer, is designed to measure temperature at a distance, and its operating temperature is usually from 0 to 40 degrees, although the device is capable of displaying indicators exceeding a thousand degrees on its screen. This type of device is very convenient because it does not require contact with the object of study. It is used for work with heat and electrical equipment, used to maintain fire safety, helps to diagnose transport, check air conditioning systems, ventilation and heating systems. In many industrial areas, you can’t do without a pyrometer at all, for example, it is constantly used in metalworking, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, heat power engineering and many other industries.
No less important parameters are the measurement speed, the level of dust and moisture protection, the size and weight of the device, the material of the case. You should also pay attention to the power supply method of the device and the package. In addition to the instructions, the kit often includes a carrying case, software and a cable for connecting to a computer.
Additional functions
Modern thermometers for measuring air temperature often feature additional capabilities. For example, they can calculate relative humidity, eliminating the need for a separate moisture meter. Many devices also allow data transfer to a computer and include built-in memory for storing measurement results. A universal measuring device can be versatile enough to handle various tasks, such as measuring environmental parameters or serving as a kitchen thermometer for liquids like milk.
