What type of IR temperature sensor should I buy?

There are many types of IR temperature sensors on the market, with a wide range of features, functions and capabilities.  IR temperature sensors range from simple hand-held single point units to sophisticated cameras with programming to analyze complex temperature profiles.

Below are two guides for ease in determining the proper IR temperature sensor:

• The Non-Contact IR Overview brochure attached provides an overview of the various types of sensors, pyrometers and cameras as well as considerations when deciding which one to purchase.  This brochure also provides an overview of the products offered from Process Sensors.
• The IR Models Applications Selection Guide groups and compares various IR sensors by application to allow for easy comparisons and selections. 

These resources will help you narrow down the best sensor for your application. Contact Scott Nagle at +1 774-399-0461 or [email protected] if you have any further questions.
