Proper Use of IR Temperature Sensors (Part II)

Accurate temperature measurements are critical to forging processes and the metallurgical properties of forged components. For a given set of specific conditions, IR temperature sensors work reliably and produce repeatable temperature measurements – but not necessarily accurate ones. Accuracy comes from properly calibrating sensors to the specific materials and applications.
