2.3.2 Pyrometer
The following optical chart show the diameter of the measuring spot in dependence on the distance between
measuring object and sensing head. The spot size refers to
90 % of the radiation energy .
The distance is always measured from the front edge of the sensing head.
As an alternative to the optical diagrams, the spot size calculator can also be used on the
Optris website or via the Optris calculator app . The app can be downloaded for free from the
Google Play store (see QR code).
D = Distance from front of the sensing
head to the object
S = Spot size
The size of the measuring object and the optical resolution of the infrared thermometer determine the
maximum distance between sensing head and measuring object.
In order to prevent measuring errors the object should fill out the field of view of the optics completely.
Consequently, the spot should at all times have at least
the same size like the object or should be smaller
than that.
