Traceable Calibrated Infrared Stick Thermometer, 8:1

Description

The Traceable Calibrated Infrared Stick Thermometer from Cole-Parmer is a non-contact temperature measurement device designed for general laboratory and industrial use. It features an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio, which indicates that from a distance of 8 inches, the instrument measures the average temperature of a target area approximately 1 inch in diameter. This ratio makes it suitable for measuring objects at a moderate range where a larger spot size is acceptable. As a calibrated instrument, it is supplied with documentation traceable to NIST standards, providing assurance of measurement accuracy for quality control and procedural compliance. Its stick-style form factor is typically lightweight and easy to point at targets. This type of thermometer is commonly used for quick checks of surface temperatures on equipment, materials, or processes where direct contact is impractical or could contaminate the sample.
