How accurate are non contact pyrometers in temperature measurement?
Non contact pyrometers are highly accurate for temperature measurement, typically within ±1-2% of the reading, depending on the model and conditions. Their accuracy relies on factors such as emissivity settings, distance-to-spot ratio, and the environment. Advanced models offer better precision with high resolution and specialized calibration. They are especially effective in high-temperature applications where contact methods are impractical. Regular calibration and proper use ensure optimal accuracy, making them reliable tools for industrial, medical, and research applications.
