Among professional thermometers and domestic thermometers, Laser infrared thermometers are particularly widespread. Indeed, very simple to use, you can find them in agrifood factories, in doctors, in cold rooms and industrial ovens, or even in large laboratories, for effectively measure the temperature. Often chosen for its high precision, even at very high temperature, the laser thermometer allows you to limit the risk of error in the body temperature or room temperature, whatever it is. Our experts from explains you How to use these thermal radiation measuring pistols, whatever your use.
What is a laser thermometer?
THE Laser thermometer is a contactless infrared thermometer, also called pyrometer. It is an electronic thermometer that allows you to take body temperature, food or surface quickly and remotely. You can remember 3 advantages with the laser thermometer : It is not in contact with the person who potentially presents fever, with the product or the place, it allows you to take the temperature of a surface that you cannot reach easily and it only takes a few seconds To display the temperature directly on an LCD screen.
⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This is a surface temperature measurement. If you need to know the temperature of meat for example, it is recommended to use a penetration probe thermometer for more precise control.
Different uses of the laser thermometer
Take its temperature, control the temperature of an oven or check that baby has no fever, the laser thermometer is a multifunction digital thermometer. Let's go back to uses of a laser thermometer In its multiple applications!
The medical laser thermometer 🩺
Taking a patient's body temperature is essential for a doctor, a firefighter or hospital staff, in the event of a fever but also in the event of hypothermia. There are two types of Laser thermometers/medical infrared ; THE front thermometer, for a temperature taking towards the front, and the atrial thermometer To take the temperature by the auditory duct. These thermometers are also very widespread at home, as they are ideal as Baby thermometers Especially to take the bath temperature or simply to check that children have no fever.
How to use a front thermometer?
To measure the temperature with A frontal thermometer contactless, nothing could be simpler; Start by washing your hands and remember to place the thermometer in the room where the measurement will be carried out at least 15 minutes before starting.
- Turn on the contactless thermometer
- Direct the probe to the center of the front (it will also work on the temples) and this less than 5 cm from the area
- Press and hold the device button until you hear a "BIP" sound signal indicating that reading is finished.
Fronts that sweat or covered with cosmetics or have scar tissues can cause inaccurate readings. For an optimal and precise measurement, it is recommended to keep the area on the front.
How to use a ear thermometer?
THE atrial thermometer is a very easy -to -use measurement device:
- Wash your hands then start by cleaning the hearing duct if it has not already been done, the measure will be all the more precise and efficient
- Place a disposable, sterile and adapted protective tip on the probe of the device to avoid any infection
- After turning on the device, put the tip at the ear dungeon and press the button and hold it.
The temperature is displayed on the LCD screen under 1 to 2 seconds. No doubt the best choice for children's temperature sockets in the low-aging, you can use it even when your baby sleeps.
The industrial laser thermometer 🏭
THE laser thermometers as part of industrial use are ideal for taking surface temperature measurements. They provide very precise temperatures remotely, whether in the case of industrial ovens or cold rooms for example. To use it is - again - very simple. Let the appliance acclimatize up to 30 minutes at room temperature of the part to allow an optimal reading measurement, because a thermometer transported from a hot part to a cold storage unit can display incorrect readings.
- Try to get as close as possible to the measured object and make sure you are perpendicular to the measured surface
- Simply direct the thermometer to the target and press the measurement button to display the surface temperature on the LCD screen 1 to 2 seconds after the sound beep.
The food laser thermometer 🍔
THE Food infrared thermometer is ideal in compliance with food hygiene and safety standards because it measures food surface temperatures. You thus eliminate the need to touch and potentially contaminate the foods you measure, also avoiding a risk of cross -contamination. These pistol -shaped thermometers are compact, light and always easy to use:
- Simply aim and press the trigger to display the temperature of the measured item (yes, that's it).
Choose your laser/infrared thermometer
When you choose a professional thermometer, it is essential to think of use "What measures do I need to take with my thermometer?”. You can of course Choose your thermometer according to its characteristics To go to the most precise in your measurements.
To best choose your device in the context of medical, food or industrial use, Let yourself be guided by the advice of an expert !
