Digital non contact infrared thermometer

Im looking at getting myself one any one else keen? The one im looking at reads from -32C to 560C and go's for R600.

so how does it actually work and have you got pics or a name to go and lookup?

Ill post pics tomorow. You aim the lazer at where you want to measure the tempreture example your sump and youll get a temp reading. Its handy when you want to check the temp deference between your cylinders.

i own and carry out infrared thermography which incorporates the picture and temperature and displays it on my screen!!!! Handy tool but expect to pay around the R300 000 mark!!!! When you get it check that your emmisivity is at 0.96 and your reflective temp is at 20degrees otherwise you will get some very strange readings!!!

I dont think the tool im looking at is half as complex as the stuff you use 🙂 ,i just want the get a temp reading without having to be able to touch the surface i want to measure.

nice for track day tire temp readings too!

we got one like that at work and it works like a bomb, great little device

If the unit you are buying does not have an emisivity level then you will get readings that are very far out!!!

Howmuch is far out? Im not looking for a unit that does a R300k job for R600, as long as it can do what i need it for. If its out by 20C it will be out by that much on all four wheels if i can quote VC.

you can quote me!

i'z been in ur postingzez, hijacksingz ur threadz!!!

mowahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

well it depends on what the emisivity level is set at!!!!!!! you might get a reading of 5degrees but in fact it is around the 15-20 mark!!!! Normally the pyrometers do have the emisivity level!!! What unit are you buying, a Flir or a Fluke?????

Wouldnt mind a fluke but its not.

well there you have it!!!!!! Emissivity : selectable of 0.99, 0.95, 0.89, 0.85, 0.79 or 0.75

the 0.95 will work very well!!! Will be out by like 0.775 of a degree which is absolutly nothing
