Using your Laser Temp gun Wrong?? - Fluke Fridays - Episode 22 

Finally, someone who knows how to explain things. I'm not sure how much time and effort you put into what you were going to say, but it was fantastic! Clear and precise with no detritus, annoying music, or even worse, no speech at all. Well done.

Probably the best video on youtube on these things

Just got a Infrared thermometer. This video was great. Thanks for providing this info and you did a great job making it understandable.

Awesome breakdown, friend!

Just got one of these, great video, thanks for your clear explanation!

Awesome video. Great info

I needed this video, I got one and you really help me, thanks 🙏🏽

Very nicely done. thank you

Thank you! Now I understand the Spot Ratio and how to apply it.

Thanks for these info

Very helpful on how to use an IR effectively. This will help me to be more accurate. Thank you!

Not sure how I got here but glad I did. Thanks for the good review.

Really helpful all these explanations, Thx

Great explanation!

nice explanation Thanks

Gr8 job. Well understandable content

Informative. Thanks.

Good job thank you

crystal clear! thanks

This is the way informative videos should be.

Very informative. Ty

Thank you very much

This is very helpfull. Thank you very much❤

I can’t say that I knew this info, I just picked up a Kobalt model and they make it pretty hard actually to use it wrong. It’s 12:1 spot ratio but it has a ring of lasers with one center bright one. Unfortunately the unit doesn’t come with a single shred of instructions so I came to RU-vid to see if I could find a review and found this instead. Great video! The Kobalt unit does have the ability to turn the lasers off so it can be more useful if you wanted to check someone’s temperature and not risk blinding them. I bought it to see temperature differences in my house and maintain flue temps in my stove.

Well said.

Thanks 👍

You make great video's, thank you! One question: I have a Fluke 62 Max+ but measuring skin temperature is way off (when EMS set at 98). But for example during the corona situation they used those same sort of IR thermometers which DO give accurate results. What could be causing this difference?

Hello there, thank you for the info. Very helpful. I have one question. I got an IR from Mitchell MITMTN3 class ll laser. Distance : spot =8:1. I need it to measure the temp of the transmission panel while doing the flush and fill. So if I understood correctly, I have to be 8 inches away from the transmission panel to get the correct readings? Thank you for your help!

i want a better pyrometer for dabing. dabrite, terpometer. and terptimers are all junk and all over100-500$. diy it is i guess lol. thanks for this. maybe ill try the fluke first

Question, could you use one to shoot into a incubator and measure the temperature through the plastic without opening????

Just bought a pizza oven with a stone and picked up a 12:1 gun. If I wanted to get the average temp of the entire stone, that would mean I’d have to stand further away otherwise I’m going to get the temp for a very small portion of stone. I’m going to try it out tomorrow, I’m so curious. Then I’m going to take 3 different readings, from the center of the stone, 1/3 out, then the edge. Thanks for this, I watched 2 others and neither did a good job explaining. The flashlight was a brilliant visual.

my two points merge as i go further, why is that so?

will an infared thermometer work on members mark stainless steel griddle

Will This work to determine your sauna temperature

Would these be accurate for fish tank water temperature?

Maybe not acurate tool for an AHU dumper?

Cherokee or Choctaw?!

i feel so lucky to find tjis video... 99% are BS

OMG. Why this video? Is it to hard to read the manual?!

I can't believe that you felt this was necessary to mention. Someone who can't read that when it's right there on the tool, is probably too dumb to not point the laser in their eye anyway, so shouldn't even be allowed to have access to one. Better to mention who really needs the $160 Fluke and who would be an idiot to pay that much for it when the generics are under $10 and up. Yes I'm aware it has two dots. Woohoo. For that price I'd expect a laser circle even if it took a half dozen laser heads and optics to get there, and for it to include a miniature gnome in the box to use it for me, lol. Hint to people that don't understand: The Fluke is not a high precision, lab grade instrument so it is madness to pay that much for it. Get the real deal or don't, but don't overpay for the name. Besides, it's a crappy design. Printed on, rubber silicone button markings wear off. You should never accept that on any but the cheapest of equipment. I wouldn't be surprised if Fluke will sell you a new button membrane, for more than the whole tool is worth.

I have a cheap Chinese £10 one and a Chinese Fluke £40 one,guess what they are Chinese, guess what they don’t give the same readings 2 times in succession so how do I know which is closest calibration. Fluke no,cheap one no.FLUKE used to be built in America trusted make, China copies Fluke charges Fluke prices same same.Rolex £20 looks the same as £5000 Rolex

Liar dealer. He didn't do calibration. Body temperature measured from a distance of 1 meter is 37.5 degrees Celsius.
