An optical pyrometer is a temperature measuring device. It is a noncontact temperature measuring device, which means it does not make any contact with the body whose temperature is being measured. As a result, it can measure higher temperatures in situations where physical contact could damage the sensors that measure high temperatures. So here this article gives the advantages of optical pyrometer to better understand this topic.
Advantages of optical pyrometer:
- The device's simple assembly allows for easy use.
- It has a very high accuracy of +/- degrees Celsius.
- There is no need for the optical pyrometer to make direct body contact with objects. As a result, it can be used in a wide range of applications.
- Moving objects can be measured.
- As long as the size of the object whose temperature is to be measured corresponds to the size of the optical pyrometer, the distance between the two is not an issue. As a result, the device is suitable for remote sensing.
- Electrical items' temperature can be measured which is critical when dealing with contact-type measurements such as HT panels and transformers.
- The instruments can be used in places physical access is difficult, such as small ducts or objects at roof heights.
- It is very accurate.
- There is no need to make contact with the measurement target.
- For high temperatures an optical pyrometer is useful.
- It is not too heavy.
