hello fellows ...
im in need of a recommendation for a fairly accurate infrared thermometer (or even contact type meter), i am considering to buy a fluke 62. however id like to ask all fellows out here, what do you use, how accurate is your IR thrmometer, etc ... and is there anything else worth buying other than a fluke 62.
main uses, to check heater element temperature (below 400C), to troubleshoot/check electronics (rarely), to calibrate arduino stuff temperature measurement projects (may need accuracy to 0.1C, i wonder if IR meters have such accuracy?)
i had the chance to use an old fluke before (cant rem the model), and although it wasnt a very highly accurate experience, it sure was very convenient to just point and read in an instant. and i also understand that contact type of measurements requires contact surfaces to be consistent, otherwise, it will never be accurate as well. so in terms of consistently vs accuracy etc ... im wondering should i get fluke 62? or something else ...
thanks everyone for any insight.
