Who invented the Infrared Thermometer?

The infrared thermometer is a laser thermometer that uses blackbody radiation to measure temperature. An infrared thermometer design was patented in the 1980s by several employees of Intelligent Medical Systems, Inc. A compact infrared thermometer was then patented in 2002 by ZyTemp.


What is the definition of a laser thermometer?

A laser thermometer is also often referred to as an infrared thermometer. An infrared thermometer detects the temperature of and object based on the amount of infrared radiation that is given off by said object by focusing the radiation.


What is an infrared laser thermometer used to measure?

An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called blackbody radiation emitted by the object being measured. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers to describe the device's ability to measure temperature from a distance. By knowing the amount of infrared energy emitted by the object and its emissivity, the object's temperature can often be determined. Infrared thermometers are a subset of devices known as "thermal radiation thermometers".


How do laser thermometers work?

Laser thermometers are actually just infrared thermometers. The laser is actually just there to make the thermometer easier to aim.

When a laser thermometer says it has a range of 0 to 1000 F can it still display the temperature of a 3000 degree object but just not accuratly?

No! There is no such thing as a Laser thermometer. You mean an infrared thermometer with a laser pointer. All point and shoot thermometers are infrared based. Since infrared light is in the spectrum, it does not require excitation or amplification therefore it is not a laser. Laser is the acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The Thermometer it self has a specific Micro chip that has a pre set temperature range. The display may show you a number above 1000 but it is false. The Rayethon corporation developed one of the first affordable portable infrared thermometers.


Who invented smallest thermometer?

David Phillips invented the first and best infrared thermometer which to your question is the smallest thermometer therefore the answer is DAVID PHILLIPS;P☻☺☻☺


For what purposes is an infrared thermometer used?

Infrared thermometers or laser thermometers as they are someimes known are useful for measuring temperature under circumstances wprobe type sensors cannot be used .
