2. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

   An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called black-body radiation emitted by the object being measured. They are sometimes called laser thermometers as a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers or temperature guns , to describe the ...

3. Thermography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

   Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foregroundInfrared thermography (IRT), thermal video or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.

4. Infrared and thermal testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_and_thermal_testing

   In infrared thermography, thermal radiation is detected and measured with infrared imagers, also known as thermographic cameras or radiometers. The imagers contain an infrared detector that converts the emitted radiation into electrical signals that are displayed on a color or black and white computer display monitor.

5. Infrared - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

   Infrared tracking, also known as infrared homing, refers to a passive missile guidance system, which uses the emission from a target of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared part of the spectrum to track it. Missiles that use infrared seeking are often referred to as "heat-seekers" since infrared (IR) is just below the visible spectrum of ...

6. Pyrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometer

   This output is used to infer the object's temperature from a distance, with no need for the pyrometer to be in thermal contact with the object; most other thermometers (e.g. thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)) are placed in thermal contact with the object and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium.

7. Satellite temperature measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_temperature...

   Infrared radiation can be used to measure both the temperature of the surface (using "window" wavelengths to which the atmosphere is transparent), and the temperature of the atmosphere (using wavelengths for which the atmosphere is not transparent, or measuring cloud top temperatures in infrared windows). Satellites used to retrieve surface ...

8. ASTM Subcommittee E20.02 on Radiation Thermometry

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_Subcommittee_E20.02...

   ASTM Subcommittee E20.02 on Radiation Thermometry is a subcommittee of the ASTM Committee E20 on Temperature Measurement, a committee of ASTM International. The subcommittee is responsible for standards relating to radiation or infrared (IR) temperature measurement .

9. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   Blackbody radiation An infrared thermometer is a kind of pyrometer . All objects above absolute zero emit blackbody radiation for which the spectra is directly proportional to the temperature. This property is the basis for a pyrometer or infrared thermometer and thermography. It has the advantage of remote temperature sensing; it does not ...
