Infrared Thermometers & Thermal Imagers
Infrared thermometers and thermal imagers measure surface temperature without touching the target. This page lists infrared thermometers and thermal imaging cameras for inspection and maintenance work. A thermal imager shows a whole surface at once, while a spot thermometer reads one point.
Electricians, maintenance technicians and inspectors use them to find hot spots on live or moving equipment. Consider the temperature range, how small a target can be read from a distance, the emissivity settings, and the image display of the imager.
- Scanning electrical panels for hot spots
- Checking motors and bearings while running
- Inspecting insulation and building envelopes
