Shop thermometers and temperature meters for measuring surface, air, liquid and equipment temperatures in industrial, HVAC, facility and field-service applications.
Available instruments include contact thermometers, thermocouple meters, infrared thermometers, pocket thermometers and other portable temperature-measurement tools.
Temperature instruments use different sensing methods depending on the application. Contact thermometers and thermocouple meters use a probe or sensor placed on or in the material being measured, while infrared thermometers provide non-contact surface-temperature measurements.
Contact instruments are useful where direct measurement is practical and may support interchangeable probes for air, surface, immersion or penetration measurements. Infrared thermometers are useful for hot, moving, energized or difficult-to-reach surfaces.
Important selection factors include temperature range, accuracy, sensor or thermocouple type, number of measurement channels, probe compatibility and required response time.
