Thermometer, Infra Red, Hand Held Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Thermometer, Infra Red, Hand Held (Product Code: SLE/CH/234) measures surface temperature from a distance, which makes it a safe choice whenever the object is too hot, moving or hazardous to touch — a hot plate, the side of a heated beaker or a running motor. It covers -35 to 230°C, with the display switchable between °C and °F, and reads in 0.1°C divisions. The instrument is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is a compact addition to the laboratory instruments it supplies to schools, colleges and workshops in India and abroad.

Specifications

Typical Use

Teachers use a hand-held infrared thermometer to check a hot plate, water bath or heating block before students handle it, and to follow a cooling curve without disturbing the surface being measured. In physics and chemistry lessons it brings heat-transfer experiments to life: students can compare how quickly dark and shiny cans lose heat, see which insulating material keeps a container warmest, or map the temperature along a metal bar heated at one end. It is equally handy for checking the walls of a refrigerator or incubator and the casing of a motor in a technical workshop.

With a distance to spot ratio of 1:1, the measured spot is roughly as wide as the distance to the target, so hold the thermometer close to small objects. The fixed 0.95 emissivity suits most painted, matte, plastic and organic surfaces; bare shiny metal reads low, so cover a small patch with matte tape or paint for a truer value. Glass is opaque at these wavelengths, so aiming at a beaker gives the temperature of the glass wall, not the liquid inside — a useful teaching point for any class using analytical lab instruments.

Manufacturer

The infrared thermometer is offered under the ScienceLab name by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a manufacturer of teaching and laboratory apparatus based in Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges and training institutes can read more about the company on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the thermometer?
It is supplied with a wrist strap, clip-out stamp and storage pouch. Battery details are not listed here; contact us to confirm before ordering.

How accurate is it?
The stated accuracy is ±2% or ±2.0°C (±2.0°F), with readings shown in 0.1°C divisions.

How far away can I measure from?
Any distance works, but the 1:1 distance to spot ratio means the area measured grows as you step back. For small targets, hold the thermometer close so the spot stays on the object.

Can it measure the temperature of a liquid in a beaker?
Only the surface it can see. Through glass it reads the glass wall; for the liquid itself, use an immersion thermometer or measure the open liquid surface.

Why do shiny metal surfaces give low readings?
Emissivity is fixed at 0.95, which matches most non-metallic surfaces. Polished metal emits less infrared, so a matte patch gives a more reliable reading.

Is a calibration certificate available?
Please discuss calibration certificate availability with us at the enquiry stage via our contact page.

Do you supply multiple units for a department?
Yes. Institutional and distributor orders for India and international markets are quoted on request.
