What is PD IEC/TS 62492-2 - Radiation thermometers about?
PD IEC/TS 62492-2, which is a technical specification, applies to radiation thermometry and addresses all technical data specified in IEC/TS 62492-1. PD IEC/TS 62492-2 defines standard test methods which can be used by the end-user of radiation thermometers to determine or confirm the fundamental metrological data of radiation thermometers with one wavelength range and one measurement field.
It is not compulsory for manufacturers and sellers of radiation thermometers to include all technical data given in PD IEC/TS 62492-2 in the datasheets for a specific type of radiation thermometer. Only the relevant data should be stated and should comply with this specification and IEC/TS 62492-1.
Note: Infrared ear thermometers are excluded from PD IEC/TS 62492-2.
Who is PD IEC/TS 62492-2 - Radiation thermometers for?
PD IEC/TS 62492-2 on the determination of the technical data for radiation thermometers is useful for:
- Manufacturers of radiation thermometers
- Quality control personnel
- Testing personnel
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62492-2 - Radiation thermometers?
Unambiguous test methods are stipulated for determining technical data, under standardised measuring conditions that can be performed by a sufficiently skilled end-user to serve as standard performance criteria for instrument evaluation or selection.
The test described in PD IEC/TS 62492-2 helps you to determine the measuring temperature range. PD IEC/TS 62492-2 facilitates comparability and testability.
Measurement temperature range, measurement uncertainty, and noise equivalent temperature difference are the most important parameters that specify a radiation thermometer. PD IEC/TS 62492-2 helps you to determine these technical data for radiation thermometers to ensure their functionality.
