Temperature Measurement


Extended non-contact measurement

November 2008 Temperature Measurement

For the non-contact measurement of surface temperatures, WIKA’s infrared thermometers now come with improved optics. The five different models, with their handheld design, all feature a laser visor system, which enables precise measurement – from a distance of up to 8 metres.

Both of the high-end products in the range, which cover temperature ranges from –32°C to 760°C, offer the user additional features for more demanding applications. They both offer a min/max function, an average function and hi/lo alarms. Additionally, the emissivity can be adjusted from 0,01 to 1, enabling even more precise temperature measurement.

A thermocouple can also be connected to both of these instruments, which can be used, if needed, to determine a second, reference value for safety. All readings are stored by the datalogger. Reference values can be called up directly on to the display.

The basic, low cost models work up to a distance of two metres and can measure temperatures between –32°C and 535°C – depending on the instrument. All WIKA infrared handheld instruments are user-friendly, with a robust design and high reliability. They enable a broad application throughout industry, from plant and machine maintenance to food monitoring.
