The PyroMiniUSB is able to measure infrared energy with wavelengths 8 to 14 μm. Many metals, especially polished metals, don’t emit enough IR energy in that wavelength range to be accurately measured by the PyroMinuUSB. One work around is to paint or coat the surface of the metal which changes the emissivity of the surface allowing it to be measured accurately by the PyroMiniUSB as well as by other pyrometers with similar spectral response.
Alternatively, we offer infrared pyrometers which have a spectral response in the 2 μm range is a better choice for measuring metal surfaces. One example is the PyroMini2.2 which is a good option for measuring reflective steel and iron surfaces.
