Know About Laser Thermometers

Digital Heat Gun

These days thermometer technology has undergone a massive change. Recent in thermometer is Laser thermometer which is becoming the heart throbbing accessory of the temperature measuring industry. As we go by the name, Laser thermometer, it works on the principle of laser technology which measures the precise temperature of an object or subject in few seconds.

Let us discuss about these Laser thermometers in detail.

Laser Thermometers measure temperature using the principle of laser. When the object is hot it gives out heat from all the parts that results in the vibration of the molecules with greater speed. This increased velocity is then measured by the laser technology and converted into a temperature reading. Later on this reading is them displayed over the LCD screen of the thermometer.

These thermometers are more or like a pistol in shape with a trigger that needs to be pulled when recording the temperature. The laser ray is emitted from the tip of the gun or pistol on the object needs to be measured. However, the emission path of the laser ray cannot be seen clearly but the point at which the ray touches becomes dot bright red. This dot point is measured for temperature reading.

It has been believed that every hot body gives out the equal amount of heat radiation from all its parts. Therefore, laser based thermometers can be pointed on any part of the body to measure temperature. The temperature recording of the specific part will come out to be same as the other parts of the body. Hence we do not need to record temperature of each and every part of the body. This is the major positive point of laser thermometers over the other thermometers.

Benefits of Laser Based Thermometers:

• It is known as non-contact device that does not need to be brought in contact with the temperature measuring object. It can measure any object from the remote location. Only thing need to be taken into consideration is that the path of the laser should not be restricted.

• It provides instantaneous results without wasting a single second. Hence is found to be a desirable clinical thermometer meant for infants or pets. Its laser technology measures the patient's temperature without being in touch with him.

• It measures the temperature of the object with accuracy, instantly and digitally which makes it easy to read.

It's Applications:

The laser thermometers have found to be an innumerable uses, which are as follows:

• These are used for measuring human body temperatures, especially in the form of ear thermometers to get accurate reading.

• These are used for industrial purposes to find out the heat leakages in the room. It scans the whole area and provides us with right spot facing excessive heat leakage.

• These are also used for diagnosing cooling system such as checking overheating problems, scanning radiators for core limitations, measuring thermostat temperature, coolant temperature sensors and various air temperature sensors

• It helps in detecting the inside temperature of exterior walls to find the improper insulation. Simultaneously, it also detects the insulating capability of window or door glass in various climatic conditions.

On the whole Laser thermometers can be used for gauging temperature of every small and big thing which lies in the private, professional, commercial and industrial sectors.
