NEW: Basics of Noncontact Infrared Temperature Measurement (Download, 24 p., 1 MB)

Next to time, temperature is the most frequently measured physical size. On the basis of Planck´s and Boltzmann´s Radiation Laws infrared thermometers determine the temperature of objects by noncontact measurements of the infrared radiation emitted by objects. A detector converts the incoming infrared radiation into an electrical signal. This results in an amplified and aligned temperature value, which can be used for further processing. The use of either portable or online infrared thermometry sensors opens up various opportunities to measure and display temperature processes in the fields of quality control, automation systems and maintenance of machines and plants. Noncontact temperature sensors are designed not only to check moving or inaccessible objects, but to allow quick and non-reactive measurements.
