Temperature measurement from long distance
« on: December 10, 2019, 06:36:26 pm »
Dear all,

I am now working in a project to gather temperature data of a fire from certain distance (at least 3 m away) with covering area (at least 3 degree solid angle). But I was planning to use IR non contact thermometers. But I am confusing whether it is suitable or not? So, can anyone tell me that are these sensors suitable or are there any sensors which could be used for long distances and wide area coverage(including part/model numbers).

Thanks

Old rhyme...

Langley invented the bolometer,
A very fine sort of thermometer.
It can measure the heat,
Of a polar bear's feet
At the distance of half a kilometer.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.
Glider pilot's aphorism: "there is no substitute for span". Retort: "There is a substitute: skill+imagination. But you can buy span".
