Temperature is a very important measurand in industry, science and research. High precision is essential, which requires the use of infrared thermometers (also known as pyrometers). The combination of pyrometer and insertion thermometer allows the simultaneous measurement of surface and core temperature. The pyrometer offers the following features, among others:
fast and non-contact measurement of surface temperatures
easy measurement in hard-to-reach places
precise technology for the highest requirements
reliable temperature measuring device
High-precision, safe and robust
The pyrometer is an ideal and versatile temperature measuring device. The parameters of emissivity and distance or measuring spot must be taken into account. For the safe use of pyrometers, Testo includes an emissivity table in every device, which can be used to quickly set the emissivity. The distance to the measurement object also plays a role: to ensure accuracy, the measuring end must be far enough away so that the entire size of the measuring spot is on the measurement object. The further away you stand from the object to be measured, the larger the measuring spot will be.
It is also important to choose the right pyrometer. You should ask yourself in advance what you need such a temperature measuring device for. Is it sufficient to measure the surface temperature or is it necessary to determine the core temperature as well? In the latter case, a combined pyrometer-insertion thermometer is the right choice. It also matters whether the data is to be transferred to a mobile device. Smart probes offer the option of transmitting the measurement data from the respective measuring device to the Testo Smart app - either as a diagram or in tabular form. The following aspects are also relevant for temperature measurement with the pyrometer :
Measuring spot (measuring range depending on the distance to the measurement object)
Ambient temperature
Surface to be measured - emissivity
Additional contact measurement required

Pyrometers are used for point measurements using infrared. This allows temperatures of surfaces to be determined without contact. In many cases, it is important to determine individual temperature spots and use them to determine whether an object has heated up or cooled down. Even measurements in hard-to-reach places or distant measuring points are no problem.
Modern pyrometers have been designed to meet the highest demands, and Testo's many years of experience in the development of pyrometers is unmistakable. The innovative tools for measuring surface temperatures are ideal wherever temperatures cannot be measured by touch or by determining the core temperature. The surface temperature measuring device, known as an infrared thermometer, measures quickly, effectively and accurately.
Temperature measuring strips are not used in all areas of everyday life or in trade and industry. The application of the strips is quite simple: they are simply stuck onto the object to be measured and change color depending on the influence of the surface temperature.

They are available in various designs and are suitable for a wide range of applications. However, pyrometers, which use innovative technology to ensure precise measurement results with non-contact temperature measurement, are much more widespread.
The temperature measuring device, which on the one hand carries out precise measurements and on the other hand offers the option of transferring the data to a smartphone, has yet to be invented? Far from it, because Testo has long been offering this type of measurement technology. The Smart Probes set includes various thermometers and measuring devices for other values.
The measured values are transferred to the app on the smartphone so that the data can be viewed and evaluated at any time. Thermal imaging cameras are also used as pyrometers and detect thermal bridges as well as inspecting mechanical systems and electrical enclosures for heat sources.
