An infrared pyrometer is a non-contact temperature measurement device that detects infrared radiation emitted by an object. It converts this radiation into an electrical signal, which is then displayed as a temperature reading. This tool is commonly used in industrial applications where high temperatures or hazardous conditions make direct contact measurement impractical. These devices are particularly useful for measuring the temperature of moving objects, such as in metal processing or glass manufacturing. Infrared pyrometers can provide quick and accurate readings, making them essential for quality control and safety in various manufacturing processes.
