An infrared thermometer is used to measure temperature without making physical contact with an object. Its advantages over traditional thermometers include non-contact measurement, quick results, and the ability to measure temperature from a distance.

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".


Different types of thermometers?

What are the three general types of clinical thermometer?

The three general types of clinical thermometers are digital, infrared, and mercury or glass. Digital thermometers are easy to read and give quick results, while infrared thermometers are non-contact and measure temperature by detecting infrared energy. Mercury or glass thermometers are traditional but are being phased out due to environmental concerns.

What are the cons of an infrared thermometer?

Some cons of an infrared thermometer are that they can be less accurate than traditional contact thermometers, especially at far distances or on reflective surfaces. They also may not provide as precise temperature readings as other types of thermometers. Additionally, they require a direct line of sight to the target area for accurate measurements.


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.
