Review on 🌡️ Amazon Commercial Compact Infrared Thermometer by Ryan Judy

The Revain commercial compact infrared thermometer is a great tool for quickly getting a rough temperature reading from any infrared emitting object. Although the LED readings are in tenths of a degree, as clearly explained in the accompanying manual, this thermometer has an estimated accuracy of plus or minus 2 percent in the range of 68 to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, plus or minus 5.4 percent in the range of -58 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit and measurement repeatability is plus or minus 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, this tool is better suited for finding hot or cold spots or comparing the relative temperatures of different objects than for making accurate temperature measurements. Also note that the infrared thermometer can only measure surface temperature, it won't work through transparent surfaces like glass or water, and this Revain model isn't designed to operate above 90 percent relative humidity. The RevainCommercial compact infrared thermometer is very easy to use. How to use: Point the sensor at the target, pull the trigger and you'll get a temperature reading in about a second. The sensor has a 12:1 field of view, so the one inch circle with the device is 12 inches from the target. This device comes with a 9V battery (supplied under a cardboard gusset in the box) and a belt holster. You can turn on or off the laser pointer or the screen LED. Although the manual says measurements should generally be less than two feet from the target, when testing on my ceramic stovetop I was able to tell if the burner was on or off in more than 10 feet. Given the accuracy of the design, don't expect this thermometer to be used for applications that require precise temperature control, such as: B. baking or confectionery production. But while walking around the house trying out the tool, within a minute I measured the temperature of the palm of my hand (91.6 F), the inside wall (68.0 F), the items on the middle shelf of the refrigerator (39.1 F ), the food in the freezer (-2.8 F) and a few other items. I quickly discovered that the outside wall next to the outlet (58.8 F) was noticeably colder than the spot on the same wall three feet from the outlet (63.3 F), so I might have to think about adding some insulation for that to get sockets on the outer walls. During a longer test, I used this tool to watch the head of one of my powerful LED flashlights heat up with light in turbo mode, and after turning off the flashlight, I noticed when the lamp head was cool enough. pleasant to touch. I have no doubt that I will continue to find uses for this easy to use infrared thermometer.
