Infrared thermometer

[inchpincher]

I bought one and find it interesting to see the temps of metal I'm welding or bits of panel work I'm trying not to warp but don't really have a frame of reference, anyone else think along these lines?

Cheers

have used the termial imaging camera at work to see how heat is moveing around as i weld

Most interesting use of one of those was watching the power pulses on a multi head spot welding machine

bet it was. on a slightly different topic we have just got a fluke power quality meter at work thats a fun peice of kit

Don't talk to me about power monitoring, nearly finished fitting Seimens energy monitoring to all our major plant, punching 3" square holes in the panels was fun

why is it when they show someone using a test meter they have a bloody big pair of numb gloves on i hardly think u could press the digits on it

the buttons are bigand chunky. or you can hook upto laptop and operate remotly on laptop

Remotely via a cable

yep usb cable to the optical part on the tester so no fear of voltage spikes

I've used a FLIR thermal imaging camera a couple of times: over at SABIC at Seal Sands last time I was checking some furnaces up at around 1200 degrees C to prove whether their thermocouples were telling the truth.

Don't talk to me about power monitoring, ...

OK, I wont then.
