Field of view (FOV) and spot size are critical for accurate infrared temperature measurement. This guide explains how distance-to-spot (D:S) ratios affect sensor performance and why proper alignment and sizing matter when using IR sensors in industrial, HVAC, and research applications. Learn how to calculate spot size, avoid background interference, and improve temperature accuracy when measuring small or distant targets.

In this article, we break down what the heat index is, why it matters in industrial settings, how to measure it (even indoors with hot equipment), and what solutions (like sensor-based monitors) can help. We’ll also touch on new OSHA rules that make heat hazard management a must for employers.

Infrared temperature sensors can struggle with accuracy in environments filled with dust, steam, smoke, or fog. This article explores how environmental interference impacts IR temperature measurements and offers practical tips for overcoming these challenges. Learn how to improve sensor reliability using air purge systems, protective enclosures, fiber optic pyrometers, and strategic placement. Ideal for industrial applications like cement plants, food processing, and metal foundries.

Trying to decide between an infrared temperature sensor and a thermocouple? This guide compares IR sensors and contact thermocouples for industrial, food, HVAC, and manufacturing applications. Learn how each sensor works, their pros and cons, and when to use non-contact infrared temperature measurement versus rugged, embedded thermocouples. Whether you're measuring moving surfaces, extreme heat, or sensitive equipment, this article will help you choose the best temperature sensor for your needs.
