Understanding the Infrared Temperature Sensor

September 14, 2009 By John R. Gyorki, Editorial Director

The infrared temperature sensor appears to be rather straightforward: point, press the button and read the temperature. However, measurement results will be quite disappointing without a thorough understanding of the instruments’ principle of operation and specifications. Temperature measurement instruments can be divided into contact and non-contact types. An infrared temperature sensor used in contact-type instruments […]
