Best Answer

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.

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".
