Hi Guys,
I am considering getting an IR /laser Thermometer. What kind do you have? What is the temp range you use for RMH's? And would you get a different one if you got it now?
Many thanks, Esbjorn

I have got one for up to 700°C for my cook stove experiments by Ebay.
Everything above this got extremely expensive.
Newer ones can go up to 1050°C, while still quite cheap.
No need to shell out big numbers for big names like Testo.
Without exact numbers for emissivity etc for materials they cannot deliver better results.
A precise touch thermometer can be used to calibrate even the cheapest ones.

How often (does one) do you use readings in the 500-700C range? How important are the "MAX / MIN / AVG / DIF reading" option for RMH & oven useage? On one steel design I welded a sleeve so I could read the crosstube wall temp from the outside. It was overrange, >550*C. In that case, I could have used one that read higher. If you want to read the really hot stuff, you need the high end meters. As far as all those data storage options, I use a pen and paper, since it is easier than trying to figure out those buttons in the first place. Turtles use primitive thought processes most easily What you have listed will meet 90% of your research needs in the beginning, IMO Turtle |

I have now ordered the 700C version as the simple 550C version had been made more expensive. E
