Today, a life without temperature measurement is hardly imaginable, whether for the weather, grilling, chilled drinks, crafts, or industry. The perceived temperature is extremely relative. While a Central European may feel extremely cold at -2°C, it feels spring-like to the inhabitants of Greenland. Fortunately, there are thermometers that can measure without contact, such as the Testboy infrared thermometer TV 329 with a measurement optics of 12:1. This pyrometer has a temperature range of -50°C to 550°C and features a backlit LCD. The emissivity is fixed at 0.95, allowing for accurate measurements of materials like concrete, wood, or painted surfaces. The practical pistol shape impresses with its straightforward handling, and the switchable laser accurately identifies the temperature point to be measured.
