Temperature sensitivity and readability are usually 1 percent of scale 1°C (2<br />

ºF) although sensitivities on the order of 0.1 °C (0.2 ° F) arc achievable.<br />

Response times are on the order of fractions of a second, usually limited by<br />

the response of the readout.<br />

Hand held radiation thermometers are used extensively in applications where<br />

spot checking of target temperatures is sufficient and continuous monitoring is<br />

not required. Handheld radiation thermometers have become an important<br />

part of many plant energy conservation programs. Process applications<br />

include monitoring mixing temperatures of food products. cosmetics and<br />

industrial solvents. Microcomputers enable handheld instruments to<br />

incorporate special features such as the ability to store sixty readings for<br />

future retrievals and printout.<br />
