Probably the best video on youtube on these things

Just got a Infrared thermometer. This video was great. Thanks for providing this info and you did a great job making it understandable.

Awesome breakdown, friend!

Awesome video. Great info

Just got one of these, great video, thanks for your clear explanation!

Very nicely done. thank you

I needed this video, I got one and you really help me, thanks 🙏🏽

Not sure how I got here but glad I did. Thanks for the good review.

Thanks for these info

Thank you! Now I understand the Spot Ratio and how to apply it.

Really helpful all these explanations, Thx

Great explanation!

nice explanation Thanks

This is the way informative videos should be.

Gr8 job. Well understandable content

Very helpful on how to use an IR effectively. This will help me to be more accurate. Thank you!

Informative. Thanks.

I can’t say that I knew this info, I just picked up a Kobalt model and they make it pretty hard actually to use it wrong. It’s 12:1 spot ratio but it has a ring of lasers with one center bright one. Unfortunately the unit doesn’t come with a single shred of instructions so I came to KZread to see if I could find a review and found this instead. Great video! The Kobalt unit does have the ability to turn the lasers off so it can be more useful if you wanted to check someone’s temperature and not risk blinding them. I bought it to see temperature differences in my house and maintain flue temps in my stove.

Good job thank you

crystal clear! thanks

This is very helpfull. Thank you very much❤

Thank you very much

Well said.

Thanks 👍

You make great video's, thank you! One question: I have a Fluke 62 Max+ but measuring skin temperature is way off (when EMS set at 98). But for example during the corona situation they used those same sort of IR thermometers which DO give accurate results. What could be causing this difference?

Well, what your trying to measure is core temperature of your body. You can't really do that on the surface so these other companies (I think) do an off set to get you closer to a believable core temp. The problem is our skin is different temperatures at different points on our skin and can be radically different if we just walked in from outside on a cold day or we are sweating or a number of other possibilities.

i want a better pyrometer for dabing. dabrite, terpometer. and terptimers are all junk and all over100-500$. diy it is i guess lol. thanks for this. maybe ill try the fluke first

Hello there, thank you for the info. Very helpful. I have one question. I got an IR from Mitchell MITMTN3 class ll laser. Distance : spot =8:1. I need it to measure the temp of the transmission panel while doing the flush and fill. So if I understood correctly, I have to be 8 inches away from the transmission panel to get the correct readings? Thank you for your help!

@fridayswithbrandon

8 inches away will give you a 1 inch circle reading that you are taking the average of everything in that 1 inch circle.

Question, could you use one to shoot into a incubator and measure the temperature through the plastic without opening????

@fridayswithbrandon

No the plastic will not let the infrared radiation pass through it. If you installed an IR window that could work. Like the CV300

@@fridayswithbrandon thanks so much Brandon, i will look into that right away. Much love from North Carolina

Just bought a pizza oven with a stone and picked up a 12:1 gun. If I wanted to get the average temp of the entire stone, that would mean I’d have to stand further away otherwise I’m going to get the temp for a very small portion of stone. I’m going to try it out tomorrow, I’m so curious. Then I’m going to take 3 different readings, from the center of the stone, 1/3 out, then the edge. Thanks for this, I watched 2 others and neither did a good job explaining. The flashlight was a brilliant visual.

Yes that is correct. One thing to note. Shooting the oven perpetual is the best for accuracy. And if you get really low angle like 10-20 degrees you might be very inaccurate (at super low angles of approach it's like the measure reflects off the surface). Just fyi

@@irondome7334 it depends. It it's very low emmissivity like, .6 or below you still would not get an accurate reading by adjusting the emmissivity without changing the surface of the object by painting it or putting tape on it.

I'm assuming your talking about the lasers on the 62 MAX+? Regardless it's because the way it's designed it essentially starts slightly wide like the size of the sensor or distance of the lasers from one another. Then closes/crosses in on itself then continues in the same direction outward forever.

Maybe not acurate tool for an AHU dumper?

I actually always went to K-7 and we didn't have tribes at K-7.

I can't believe that you felt this was necessary to mention. Someone who can't read that when it's right there on the tool, is probably too dumb to not point the laser in their eye anyway, so shouldn't even be allowed to have access to one. Better to mention who really needs the $160 Fluke and who would be an idiot to pay that much for it when the generics are under $10 and up. Yes I'm aware it has two dots. Woohoo. For that price I'd expect a laser circle even if it took a half dozen laser heads and optics to get there, and for it to include a miniature gnome in the box to use it for me, lol. Hint to people that don't understand: The Fluke is not a high precision, lab grade instrument so it is madness to pay that much for it. Get the real deal or don't, but don't overpay for the name. Besides, it's a crappy design. Printed on, rubber silicone button markings wear off. You should never accept that on any but the cheapest of equipment. I wouldn't be surprised if Fluke will sell you a new button membrane, for more than the whole tool is worth.

i feel so lucky to find tjis video... 99% are BS

I have a cheap Chinese £10 one and a Chinese Fluke £40 one,guess what they are Chinese, guess what they don’t give the same readings 2 times in succession so how do I know which is closest calibration. Fluke no,cheap one no.FLUKE used to be built in America trusted make, China copies Fluke charges Fluke prices same same.Rolex £20 looks the same as £5000 Rolex

OMG. Why this video? Is it to hard to read the manual?!

Liar dealer. He didn't do calibration. Body temperature measured from a distance of 1 meter is 37.5 degrees Celsius.
