Engineers often find temperature measurement advantages such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not having to disturb equipment when it&#8217;s in a test bed or in some other state<\/li>\n<li>Not having to make contact with the equipment being tested and thereby reducing the potential for damaging equipment that is fragile<\/li>\n<li>Being able to perform measurements on equipment that is not otherwise accessible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Infrared thermometry cameras can cost from $2000 to $5000 each, so it&#8217;s wise to consider if you&#8217;ll want to buy one for your own lab, do a shared buy among a few firms and share the equipment, or outsource to a thermal engineering lab on an as need basis.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Advanced Thermal Solutions, our engineers have put together a white paper on the fundamentals of how to perform infrared temperature measurement.
