[Stoves] New kind of IR Temperature capture

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

This is a new type of device that will log temperature automatically and
create charts on a PC.

$1425.

 

It is not a cheap way to measure temperature however it does several clever
things. It is essentially a temperature logger that operates from a
distance. Very convenient for surface temperature measurement which is often
difficult even with a contact thermocouple.

 

Note that is it a '2-colour' IR thermometer. 2-colour is a technology that
is reasonably able to self-compensate for changes in emissivity or if the
emissivity is unknown it can give a reasonable answer. Such a feature is not
cheap, that's the problem. It has a beam splitter that watches two different
frequencies of IR simultaneously. This can overcome most emissivity issues.

 

Regards

Crispin
