Traceable Calibrated Infrared Thermometer, 10:1
Manufacturer: Cole-Parmer
Description
Cole-Parmer's Traceable Calibrated Infrared Thermometer offers non-contact temperature sensing with a 10:1 optical resolution. This specification means that at a distance of 10 units from the target, the device's measurement spot size is 1 unit in diameter. The higher ratio compared to an 8:1 model allows for measurements from a slightly greater distance while maintaining a reasonably focused spot, which can be advantageous for accessing hard-to-reach areas or maintaining a safe distance from hot surfaces. The unit is calibrated and comes with a certificate of traceability to national standards, which is often a requirement in regulated laboratory environments, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. It provides a practical method for obtaining rapid temperature readings without physical contact, helping to monitor processes, troubleshoot electrical components, or verify storage conditions.
