Review on 🌡️ XYIE LTD Non-Contact Thermometer - Portable Infrared Temperature Gun with Digital LCD Display (Color: Orange) | Temperature Measurement Range: -58 °F to 752 °F (-50 ~ 400℃) by Tay Tran

First of all, let's be clear that the measurements are not accurate for all surfaces. This is a known problem with all infrared thermometers of this type (ie the type that is inexpensive and has a fixed factory calibration). To his credit, the manufacturer mentions this in the instructions and suggests sticking a piece of tape or black paint on the surface of the object to minimize it. According to the instructions, the thermometer is calibrated to an emissivity of 0.95, close to the idealized ideal blackbody radiator. If we believe the value of 0.95, then most surfaces should appear slightly colder than they really are, and darker, rougher surfaces are less prone to measurement error. from 0.5°C to 4°C and in a pot of boiling water from 95°C to 98°C. I would argue that the error seems biased towards higher temperatures for colder objects and lower temperatures for hotter objects, but it actually varied even more depending on where exactly I was aiming on the cup or pan. The only thing I can say. It's safe to say that you shouldn't treat temperature readings as anything other than an approximation to within about ±5°C, and if you're within half a foot of an object you pretty much know what it's like. the object should be like this, and you measure the point that turns out to be more radiant and less reflective. However, I have found that the thermometer is still quite useful when working within these limits. An absolute reading is accurate enough for many household applications, and of course many of these are not applicable when comparing relative time differences in measurements at the same point on the same object. Aim assist and switchable LCD backlight. Includes AAA batteries and drawstring carry case. It's a small thing, but I appreciate it.- The instructions are a quick read, actually contain a lot of interesting information and are more or less understandable in English.- If you have an infrared thermometer, you'll find all the possible uses for it. That. More recently I've used it when brewing tea to see if I had hot but not boiling water (87°C) and when deep frying to tell me when my vegetable oil was at the right temperature (170°C ) Has. Neutral: - Infrared thermometers give approximate readings except under very specific conditions. - It is best to work close to the object to be measured. - Not designed for harsh environments. Cons: - Could be a bit more durable. It's actually quite good and doesn't feel super cheap, but it could be better. Five stars. It serves its purpose and is good value for money.
