An infrared thermometer is a thermometer that infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called black-body radiation emitted by the object being measured. this permits temperature measurement from a distance without contact with the object to be measured. as covid-19 global pandemic is spreading out very rapidly, to keep this in mind the saisidhi electronics has introduced a high-quality infrared thermometer which is built with quality material and can detect the temperature range up to -501000 deg c(-581832 deg f) with a quick responsive time i.e. 500 ms with high-resolution power.

Types of infrared thermometers

There are many types of infrared temperature sensing devices available today, including configurations designed for flexible and portable handheld use as well as for mounting in a fixed position to serve a specific purpose.

The most common types of infrared thermometers include:

• Spot infrared thermometers – these devices measure the temperature at a spot on a surface.
• Infrared scanning systems – these devices scan a larger area as the spot thermometer points at a rotating mirror. they are widely used in manufacturing processes involving conveyors or web processes, such as continuous piles of material along a conveyor belt or large sheets of metal or glass exiting an oven.
• Infrared thermal imaging cameras – these cameras are essentially infrared radiation thermometers used for measuring the temperature at many points over a relatively large area to create a two-dimensional image called a thermogram. this technology is more software- and hardware-intensive compared to other types of infrared thermometers.

Working principle of infrared thermometers

Infrared thermometers work based on black body radiation, according to which any material with a temperature above absolute zero has molecules moving within it. the higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move. the molecules emit infrared radiation as they move, and emit more radiation, including visible light, as they get hotter. this is why a heated metal emits a red or white glow. infrared thermometers detect and measure this radiation.

Applications of infrared thermometers

This is mostly being used for checking the human temperature, this is now the covid-19 pandemic bad time so largely it is being used at crowded places like airports, hospitals and so on.

The basic applications of infrared thermometers are given below:-

• Heating and air conditioning – detection insulation breakdown, heat loss and gain and furnace and duct leakage
• Industrial/electrical – monitoring motor/engine cooling systems performance, boiler operations, steam systems and detection of hot spots in electrical systems and panels
• Food safety – checking equipment performance, sanitation and process temperature conditions, and scanning refrigerated display cases, trucks, storage areas and cooling systems
• Agriculture – monitoring plant temperatures for stress and animal bedding to detect spoiling.
