What is Infrared Thermometer Calibration?
Infrared thermometer calibration ensures that these devices provide accurate temperature measurements by comparing their readings against a high-precision infrared source. Infrared thermometers detect thermal radiation emitted by objects and convert this data into a temperature value, making them widely used across industries such as healthcare, HVAC, and manufacturing.
Why calibrate an Infrared Thermometer?
Infrared thermometers became particularly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for non-contact temperature measurements. However, their accuracy can be affected by material type, surface transparency, and reflectance properties. Regular calibration is essential to verify measurement accuracy and ensure reliable performance in various applications.
