FAQs

What is an Infrared Thermometer for Metals?

A pyrometer for measuring the temperature of metal is a specialised device used to accurately determine the temperature of metal surfaces.

It utilises infrared radiation emitted by the metal to provide non-contact temperature measurements, making it suitable for various industrial applications like metal processing, welding, and forging.

Can you Measure Metal With an Infrared Thermometer?

Yes, you can measure the temperature of metal using an infrared thermometer. It measures the metal’s temperature by detecting the thermal radiation it emits without making physical contact, making it suitable for various metal applications.
