Comprehensive range of IR thermometers
Extech Instruments offers an extensive range of Infrared thermometers for instantaneous non-contact temperature readings. The IR line provides temperature measurement for many diverse markets including HVAC/R, plant maintenance, automotive, electrical, and food handling/preparation applications.
Extech's IR thermometers are available based on temperature range, distance-to-target ratio and fixed or adjustable emissivity. Also offered are speciality IR thermometers for data logging and wireless data transmission, as well as a broad range of instruments with integrated IR thermometers.
High Temperature IR thermometers are suitable for applications where the temperature range is a critical factor. Measuring temperatures as low as -50degC to a high of 1050degC, the models 42515, 42540, 42545 and 42560 feature adjustable and auto-adjustable emissivity with varying distance-to-target ratios including 13:1, 16:1, 30:1 and 50:1. The 42545's highly focused 50:1 ratio allows for safe measurement of targets that are too small or too dangerous to get close to.
Mid-Range IR thermometers feature an 8:1 distance-to-target ratio with temperature ranges from -50degC to 600degC. Models are available with fixed or adjustable emissivity and include the 42510, 42530, 42580, and the E220 EzFlex Gooseneck IR with a 460mm flexible probe.
Compact IR thermometers measure from -50degC to 400degC with a 6:1 distance-to-target ratio. The models in this series are available with fixed or adjustable emissivity and include the 42525A, 42500, 42529, the IR201 and the IR205.
Pocket-Sized IR thermometers measure from -33degC to 230degC with a 1:1 distance-to-target ratio. The IR301 model with adjustable emissivity features the addition of a fold-up Type K stainless steel probe for contact measurements, while the most economical mini IR100 with fixed emissivity provides IR measurements in an extremely small housing.
Speciality IR thermometers include the Model 42582 that provides data logging and on-the-spot paper printouts, the Model 42560 that features a wireless transmitter allowing data to be transmitted to a PC or notebook computer, and the Model 42515 with Type K thermocouple inputs for when contact measurement must be performed in conjunction with non-contact measurement.
Extech also offers a broad range of measurement devices with an integrated IR capability, including digital multimeters, clamp meters, tachometers, anemometers, psychrometers, and hygrometers, all of which feature built-in infrared thermometers.
