Portable infrared sensor.


The Sniper handheld infrared radiation pyrometer Noun 1. radiation pyrometer - a pyrometer for estimating the temperature of distant sources of heat; radiation is focussed on a thermojunction connected in circuit with a galvanometer
pyrometer - a thermometer designed to measure high temperatures
 is said to provide non-contact temperature measurements for high temperature measuring applications. With temperature ranges from 1,000[degrees]F (538[degrees]C) to 5,000[degrees]F (2,760[degrees]C), this low cost, small size, high performance non-contact portable sensor is said to be ideal for heat treating, induction heating induction heating

Method of raising the temperature of an electrically conductive material by subjecting it to an alternating electromagnetic field. Energy in the electric currents induced in the object is dissipated as heat.
, welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat.  and semiconductor manufacturing applications. Small, battery-powered and portable, these instruments are said to be ideal for troubleshooting and spot checking temperatures. Since they view energy at wavelengths which are not impeded by glass, the Sniper model can look through glass or Pyrex viewing parts in ovens, furnaces and reactors. Standard features include adjustable optics for accurate sharp image of spot to be temperature sensed and spot size as small as 0.25" at 12" distances, adjustable emissivity Emissivity

The ratio of the radiation intensity of a nonblack body to the radiation intensity of a blackbody. This ratio, which is usually designated by the Greek letter ε, is always less than or just equal to one.
 control, fast response times up to 50 milliseconds with accuracy of [+ or -] 1%, recorder output voltage, see-through or laser sight aiming for target alignment and location, and standard alkaline battery Alkaline batteries are a type of power cell dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2).
