Calex has successfully measured the temperature of a sintered steel gear using an 8-14 µm general-purpose sensor.

How to find the right emissivity setting for an infrared temperature sensor

For accurate results when using an infrared temperature sensor (pyrometer), the emissivity setting must be correct. Here are some methods to help you find the right setting to use.

Most infrared temperature sensors have an adjustable emissivity setting. Here’s how to use this powerful feature to achieve accurate measurements from a variety of surfaces.
