Strap On Pipe Thermometer

Product Information

If an infrared thermometer is found to be providing inaccurate readings, especially if compared to a calibrated thermometer taking readings of the same object under the same circumstances, the inaccurate device will need recalibration. However, you should bear in mind that external factors such as emissivity can play a role in the accuracy of an IR reading. As IR thermometers only measure the surface temperature of an object, as already mentioned, they cannot measure the temperature of parts inside. This is also applicable to clear Perspex panels, for example. To get an accurate measurement, it would be necessary to open the enclosure and point at the specific part that needs measuring. This does involve inconvenience at best, and at worst, considerable danger if high voltages are present.

Once you have recorded the two readings, you can then analyse the results. A catalytic converter working optimally should be hotter at the rear than the front. If the two readings are similar or the reading from the front provides a higher temperature, this indicates that there may be an issue with the catalytic converter. Can Infrared Thermometers Measure Water? Please Note: In the case of large pipes, the provided spring may not fit. Therefore, we advise the use of a tie-wrap, wire or a larger spring. These thermometers have numerous uses across a wide range of applications, industries, and environments. Just a few examples of possible uses include:

When using an infrared thermometer, the emissivity of the object being observed must be taken into consideration. Emissivity is the measurement of an object’s ability to emit infrared energy. This is important because the emissivity indicates the object’s temperature. The way this gadget measures the temperature of surfaces and gives a speedy and precise response rate, it is one of our best products. The maximum temperature it can measure is 500 degrees Celsius. The small size makes it easily portable and adjustable.

These are bi-metal thermometers upon delivery they may need adjusting / calibration to a known temperature due to vibration when in the post Take a reading of the outlet pipe (the pipe which connects to the rear of the converter) with the infrared thermometer Fitting over the pipe using either the supplied spring, or a tie-wrap if the pipes are very large, the classic white faced and polished steel rimmed thermometer face will accurately display the pipes current temperature. Pipe Thermometr & Radiator Thermometer At Thermometers Direct, we keep an eye on our customers’ needs. So when our customers want to monitor the temperature of pipes and radiators accurately, we have the range that’s just perfect for their use. Our assortments of waterproof thermometers, magnetic thermometer, clamp probes and infrared thermometers are best for measuring pipe and radiator temperatures. Getting an accurate reading is vital if you are balancing radiators and here is where Thermometers Direct can help you. Cheshire Design Centre has worked with one of the longest established manufacturers of stove thermometers to design a Stove Top Thermometers which is suitable for use on the top, front or side surface of your wood burning or multi-fuel stove. They are attached magnetically and require no tools for installation.

Or if you are still waiting for a parcel (over 10 working days Royal Mail) please let us know so we can sort out the problem. Position the thermometer close enough that the spot of focus includes only the part of the catalytic converter that needs measuring (as below) and not any surrounding parts which may influence the reading The device rapidly detects the temperatures of pipes and radiators with precision, and has dual laser sighting for added accuracy and meticulousness. The device also comes with an auto hold option and a resolution of 0.1°C. The response time is super-fast; at less than 150 milliseconds, this device can put all other infrared Pipe and Radiator Thermometers to shame. The device also comes with a carrying protective cover to make it easier to carry while shielding it from damage at the same time. In countries where the market for wood burning appliances is more developed there is a stove fan thermometer available. These are used to indicate the temperature for optimal fan performance and are located on the top of the stove. The mechanism for the Fan thermometer is the same as the stove top thermometer but the graphics have been changed to give a better indication at a glance.

A room thermostat controls the heating in your home. If the room's temperature drops below your chosen temperature, the thermostat will switch on. Once the room has reached the chosen temperature, the thermostat will turn the heating off, preventing overheating and reducing energy consumption. This can help reduce your home's energy consumption.The magnetic thermometer we offer are ideal to attach to the radiator or pipes you intend to measure the temperature of. The temperature of the heat that is dispersed by the radiator or pipes will automatically be registered on the thermometer. These accurate readings will give you a precise idea of when to bleed the radiator to get the desired temperature. These Pipe and Radiator Thermometers can also be used to regulate the temperature of pipes in winters. This prevents the pipes from freezing and adding to daily stress. As a result, IR thermometers are unable to measure temperature through water or other liquids. It is also important to note that they will not accurately measure the temperature of water through tanks or containers such as glass beakers, even if the container material is transparent and visible light can pass through it. In this scenario, the device would simply take a reading of the container’s surface area rather than the liquid within it. How Can I Measure the Temperature of Parts Inside a Cabinet? Most IR thermometers will show a single temperature on the display, either in °C or °F. There are, however, some high-end IR thermometers that show a thermal map of the whole view, while measuring the temperature of just one central point. This has the great benefit of being able to more easily see the hottest or coolest spot in view and helps guide you to measure that point if required. This is one step below a full thermal imaging camera, which allows you to capture and save the temperature of all points in the image at the same time. What are Infrared Thermometers Used for? If the single wall flue pipe is made from enamelled steel then a magnetic fixing thermometer can be used however it is important to know that if the stove pipe exceeds a temperature of 400°C then the magnet will fail and the thermometer could fall to the floor which could in turn damage the floor covering.
