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 type of thermometer is particularly useful for measuring the temperature of moving objects or surfaces that are difficult to access. Infrared pyrometers are commonly used in various industries, including metallurgy, glass manufacturing, and food processing. They can measure temperatures from a distance, making them ideal for high-temperature applications where traditional thermometers may not be suitable. Their quick response time allows for real-time monitoring of temperature changes.
