Infrared thermometers, also known as IR thermometers or laser thermometers, allow for temperature to be measured at a distance. This makes them ideal for measuring temperatures in difficult to reach areas and in controlled atmospheres. You can learn more about how IR thermometers work in our comprehensive guide to infrared thermometers.

What Type of IR Thermometer Do I Need?

Infrared thermometers, temperature guns, and IR laser thermometers offer exceptional versatility and efficiency for non-contact temperature measurement. With their non-invasive nature, rapid response time, and wide temperature range, it is easy to select a model that best suits your requirements and budget.

• Non-contact infrared thermometers are typically robust and versatile, with LCD screens that can display either easily discernible numerical values, or more advanced real time heat map overlays. As models have different capabilities when it comes to accuracy and maximum temperatures measured, it is easy to select an IR thermometer that best suits your requirements and budget.
• Pocket-size models are available for added convenience, and ATEX models are available for use in hazardous environments.
• Temperature Guns often feature additional functionalities such as laser aiming, adjustable emissivity settings, and data logging capabilities.
• Infrared laser thermometers combine the precision of laser aiming with infrared temperature measurement. They are particularly useful for long-range measurements or situations where direct contact is not possible.
