The benefits of using an infrared thermometer:
- Convenience! An infrared thermometer can quickly provide temperature measurements. Within the time it takes to read a single leak connection point with a thermocouple, an infrared thermometer can almost read the temperature of all connection points. Additionally, since infrared thermometers are sturdy and lightweight (all weigh less than 10 ounces) and can be easily stored in a holster when not in use, you can carry them during factory patrols and routine inspection work.
