Non-contact IR thermometer – efficiency in thermal testing
June 2018
Temperature Measurement
HellermannTyton’s T151 non-contact IR thermometer is suitable for various industries such as food and beverage, mining and refrigeration. The instrument ensures machinery is working optimally by finding any hotspots quickly through its non-contact IR functionality.
A coaxial circular laser forms a circle with scales to reduce measurement errors while providing an indication of distance from the surface being measured. The fully integrated UV LED allows for easy detection and location of leaks in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) with its fluorescent coolant. Other features include:
• 4-in-1 design, (UV refrigerant leak detector, distance and spot size indicator, non-contact IR thermometer and flashlight).
• Drop proof, up to 1,2 metres.
• Distance and spot (field of vision) 15:1.
• Emissivity adjustable.
• High and low alarms for measurements outside the limit.
• Joystick-like scroll button to navigate through the features.
The battery-powered portable device weighs 300 g and comes with an integrated lens cap to ensure that the optics are well protected from potential contamination and damage due to hazardous environments.
