Emissivity is a measure of the reflectiveness of materials. Reflective – or low emissivity – materials pose challenges when using an IR sensor. See technote 20 for more information.
ACE sensor yield linear signals between 0-100C or 0-250C (scalable). IRt/c sensors are calibrated specifically for desired temperature range. See technote 35 for more information.
Looking for low temperature measurement? Measuring metallic or reflective targets at low temperatures is challenging as the sensor will predominantly measure reflected radiation from surrounding heat sources. This requires either customized sensor solutions, or mechanical add-ons to the sensor, please contact CleverIR for a custom solution.
The field of view is defined as ratio distance to spotsize X:Y where X is the distance between sensor and target, and Y is the diameter of the measured spot.For example, a sensor with a 5:1 FOV measures a 1” spot at a 5” distance. See technote 38 for more information.
Measuring metallic or reflective targets at high temperatures is only possible with narrow (<5:1) field of view sensors.
If your preferred choice of output is not in the list of options, please contact us to assess alternatives.
The maximum ambient temperature a sensor can withstand varies between models. For higher ambient temperature applications, models are available with built-in airpurge for cooling, or cooling jackets as accessory.
