Introduction to Infrared Thermometry This bulletin provides a discussion of the fundamentals
of radiation physics upon which infrared thermometry is based.
Several of the many ways of applying these fundamentals to the
practical methods of measurement will be discussed.
Proper Infrared Thermometer Installation and Operation Installing and operating an infrared thermometer to monitor a production
process can be tricky, though the benefits can be huge.
Factors such as sensor aim, lens selection and environmental obstructions (smoke, heat, steam, etc.),
need to be considered. This article discusses typical variables and how to address them.
Temperature Errors Caused by Change in Product Emissivity The focus of this technical Solution Bulletin examines
emissivity as the cause of temperature error when using an
infrared brightness thermometer. For discussion purposes,
all other variables will be negligible.
Temperature Errors Due to Transmission Losses The focus of this Technical Solution Bulletin treats
the optical transmission path as the only significant source
of error when using an infrared brightness thermometer.
Temperature Errors Due to Background Radiation The focus of this Technical Solution Bulletin examines
how background sources of radiation affect measurements taken
with an infrared brightness thermometer.
Selection of Ircon Temperature Controllers A guide to help match the type of controller to the
process. Discusses the difference between On-Off, for control
and alarm and also Single Mode and full Three Mode (PID) Proportional
Control with Auto-Tune.
