Infrared Thermometer -IR831
Infrared Thermometer -IR831 Mid-Range
The IR831 infrared thermometer is primarily a mid-range, non-contact industrial and commercial-grade instrument used in laboratories and various other settings for rapid, non-contact surface temperature measurements.
Laboratory Uses
In a laboratory setting, the IR831’s non-contact feature is valuable for measuring the temperature of items that are hazardous, fragile, moving, or hard to reach. Specific uses include:
R&D and Production: Monitoring temperatures during various research, development, and production processes, such as material analysis or experiments where consistent temperatures are crucial for product quality.
Chemical and Solvent Handling: Checking the temperature of solvents, chemicals, or potentially corrosive surfaces during sample preparation or experiments without direct physical contact.
Equipment Monitoring: Ensuring laboratory equipment like furnaces, hot plates, or chilling units are at safe and optimal operating temperatures to prevent damage and ensure accuracy of results.
Material Analysis: Determining material characteristics and phase transitions (melting/freezing points) by safely monitoring temperature changes.
Clean Rooms/Fume Hoods: Suitable for use in controlled environments like clean rooms, as non-contact measurement minimizes the risk of contamination.
Quality Control: Performing quick, initial temperature scans on incoming goods or products in a lab setting, often used in conjunction with a contact probe for validation if needed.
Calibration Reference: Although not a primary standard, they can be used to compare temperatures and help identify if other instruments require formal calibration.

Key Features Relevant to Lab Use
The IR831 has features that make it practical for lab work:
Wide Temperature Range: Measures a broad range of temperatures, such as -30°C to +1350°C, accommodating diverse lab applications.
Distance-to-Spot Ratio (30:1): This allows accurate measurement of smaller or distant targets by ensuring the measurement spot is precisely defined by the dual laser points, preventing interference from surrounding temperatures.
Adjustable Emissivity: The emissivity can be adjusted (0.10~1.00), which is crucial for accurately measuring different materials and surfaces common in a lab.
Max/Min Values and Alarms: Useful for monitoring temperature limits during experiments or storage, alerting the user to deviations.
For purchasing information or detailed specifications, refer to laboratory equipment suppliers like Masiye Labs or Action Instruments SA.
