Depending on your industry, measuring the temperature of objects from a safe distance may be a normal part of your routine. Your team might rely on this technology to manufacture original parts or products. Any time infrared thermometers are used in testing procedures, it’s important to calibrate them for accuracy.
Garber Metrology cares about the outcome of your efforts. Trust us for infrared thermometer calibration services to keep your operations running smoothly.
Looking out for your customers means all steps of the production process must be fine-tuned. Allowing your infrared thermometers to go uncalibrated and lose their accuracy could result in your original goods taking on improper shapes or machines overheating to the point where they break prematurely.
Garber Metrology saves you from having to repeat production or send machines to repair professionals. We calibrate touchless infrared thermometers to deliver accurate measurements, giving you confidence that the temperatures on your devices are correct so your equipment will operate efficiently.
Our professionals know how to calibrate infrared thermometers through multiple means. We take the appropriate measures to analyze, adjust and certify the tools you rely on for success. Some infrared technology can be inspected at your facility, but we may advise sending your equipment to our lab to best serve you. Infrared thermometers are tested at our facility by:
Several specialized tools are necessary to complete the calibration process, including a thermal radiation source, ambient temperature thermometer and mounting device.
We’ll speak to you about calibrating infrared thermometers to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications or the standards of your industry. Our controlled lab environment is essential for accurate temperature and humidity calibration of your equipment.
Our company has been helping customers since our founding in 1975, giving us an unmatched level of expertise. Additionally, all of our calibration technicians are professionally trained for your peace of mind. We complete work without cutting corners and strive to help you avoid unwanted downtime.
You can verify infrared thermometer accuracy using three methods: comparing against another trusted infrared thermometer, using a thermocouple, or utilizing a blackbody calibrator. Blackbody calibrators provide the most accurate results but are expensive and complex to operate, which is why it’s recommended to turn to a professional for cost savings and accurate operation.
How often you calibrate infrared thermometers depends on application criticality, usage intensity, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements. Environmental stressors like extreme temperatures, vibrations, and corrosive exposure accelerate drift and require more frequent calibration. Based on the manufacturer specifications and your data for stability and drift, the cycle can be adjusted accordingly.
Infrared thermometer calibrations should be performed by laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 through A2LA, ANAB, or NVLAP . Seek providers that are ISO 9001 registered for quality management, with calibrations using blackbody reference sources traceable to NIST standards. The calibration procedures should follow ASTM E2847-14 to ensure your measurements are accurate and reliable.
