Some typical circumstances are where the object to be measured is moving; where the object is surrounded by an electromagnetic field, as in induction heating; where the object is contained in a vacuum or other controlled atmosphere; or in applications where a fast response is required, an accurate surface temperature is desired or the object temperature is above the recommended use point of a contact sensors, or contact with a sensor would mar the object or the sensor, or introduce a significant temperature gradient on the object's surface. | Some typical circumstances are where the object to be measured is moving; where the object is surrounded by an electromagnetic field, as in induction heating; where the object is contained in a vacuum or other controlled atmosphere; or in applications where a fast response is required, an accurate surface temperature is desired or the object temperature is above the recommended use point of a contact sensors, or contact with a sensor would mar the object or the sensor, or introduce a significant temperature gradient on the object's surface. | ||
