Noncontact Temperature Measurement Applications
Measuring Liquid Temperatures
To accurately measure the temperature of
liquids and semi-liquids, such as soup, chili,
salad dressing, etc., stir the liquid to bring the
internal temperature to the surface, while
taking a measurement with the unit in noncon-
tact mode. Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can pre-
vent accurate measurement by interfering with
the energy emitted from the target. To increase
the reliability of the measurement, do not hold
the unit directly over a steaming or smoking
product. Instead, hold the unit back and at
an angle to ensure the most accurate
measurement (Figure 8).
Measuring Packaged Products
in Cold Storage Cases
Ideally, the temperature of a product should
be measured outside of a refrigerated environ-
ment whenever possible. If it is necessary to
measure the product in a refrigerated environ-
ment such as a walk-in cooler, either make
rapid measurements (within 1 minute or less)
or allow 30 minutes for the unit to stabilize in
the refrigerated environment (above 0°C /
32°F) before measuring. To measure an item
within a storage case, open the door or cur-
tain, and directly scan the product for uniform
temperatures. The presence of warmer areas
may indicate improper stocking resulting in
blocked airflow in the cabinet.
