Strap On Pipe Thermometer

Product Information

These thermometers have numerous uses across a wide range of applications, industries, and environments. Just a few examples of possible uses include: Cheshire Design Centre has worked with one of the longest established manufacturers of stove thermometers to design a Stove Top Thermometers which is suitable for use on the top, front or side surface of your wood burning or multi-fuel stove. They are attached magnetically and require no tools for installation. If an infrared thermometer is found to be providing inaccurate readings, especially if compared to a calibrated thermometer taking readings of the same object under the same circumstances, the inaccurate device will need recalibration. However, you should bear in mind that external factors such as emissivity can play a role in the accuracy of an IR reading. Take a reading of the outlet pipe (the pipe which connects to the rear of the converter) with the infrared thermometer Once you have recorded the two readings, you can then analyse the results. A catalytic converter working optimally should be hotter at the rear than the front. If the two readings are similar or the reading from the front provides a higher temperature, this indicates that there may be an issue with the catalytic converter. Can Infrared Thermometers Measure Water?

The optimum position is on the flue collar, or if not practical, as close to the collar as possible for a stable reliable place for monitoring the stove and flue gas temperature . Measuring the temperature of a catalytic converter can help to test and assess the efficiency of the device, and IR thermometers are the ideal tools for the job. The following steps explain how to test a catalytic converter with an infrared thermometer: A room thermostat controls the heating in your home. If the room's temperature drops below your chosen temperature, the thermostat will switch on. Once the room has reached the chosen temperature, the thermostat will turn the heating off, preventing overheating and reducing energy consumption. This can help reduce your home's energy consumption. The Bi-metal pipe thermometer takes some time in detecting the temperature of pipes and radiators. The spring provided is ideal for small pipes and in case of larger pipes you can use a tie-wrap, a larger spring or a wire. These thermometers need recalibration and it is quite easy to do so with these kinds of pipe and radiator thermometers. If, however, you need better, swift readings, we suggest you buy the infrared thermometers which have a greater accuracy and exactness in the readings they provide.

Pipe Thermometr & Radiator Thermometer

As IR thermometers only measure the surface temperature of an object, as already mentioned, they cannot measure the temperature of parts inside. This is also applicable to clear Perspex panels, for example. To get an accurate measurement, it would be necessary to open the enclosure and point at the specific part that needs measuring. This does involve inconvenience at best, and at worst, considerable danger if high voltages are present. We have professional infrared digital thermometers to help people from the industry that need professional, advanced thermometers. One such thermometer is the Infrared Thermometer DT-8862 Professional for high temperatures. Appropriately priced, these thermometers deserve a place in the tool box of any professional. Also available in variations for extreme high temperatures, this thermometer is the best there is.

Aside from the emissivity, another key point to consider when using an infrared thermometer is the field of view. This may also be referred to as the distance to spot ratio. For example, for a 12:1 distance to spot, at 12ft from the object, the detector will be looking at a spot on the object that will be 1ft in diameter. Sometimes, IR thermometers include a small laser to enable the user to see the centre of the focus spot. Alternative models feature multiple lasers which show the full spot of focus.
