Trotec-adviser “Infrared thermometer”: How to measure the temperature in the terrarium
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Infrared thermometers are the perfect solution to measuring the temperature in the terrarium, because they measure the surface heat radiation of objects in terrariums such as stones, heating mats, the popular sunny spot or the water temperature of the drinking and bathing bowl. This way, the pyrometers allow you to check of the habitat of reptiles and other animals without disturbing their rest.

All conventional infrared thermometers from Trotec are usually able to measure the temperature of liquids. No matter whether it’s the temperature in your own pool – isn’t that much too cold? – or the bath water for babies and small children – isn’t that much too hot? . Of course, the temperature test can also refer to baby food in bottles. And not forgetting hot and dangerous liquids like grease, oil and acids in the kitchen or workshop.

As a rule, infrared thermometers are also highly suitable for measuring the temperature of foods in kitchens or catering applications. Providing you know some of the specific aspects associated with food measurement: For instance what you should pay attention to when checking the temperature of foods such as soups and sauces or for baby food in bottles. Or how the HACCP directives affect the catering sector. And why the use of pyrometers is not usually recommending when barbecuing.

Similar to penetration thermometers, infrared thermometers are digital measuring devices. But because infrared thermometers allow contact-free and hence hygienic and safe measurement at the same time, they are enjoying ever greater popularity. As a result, many users are asking what and how they can actually use their pyrometer for measurement. You can find the answers here – and in four more editions of our new Trotec Beginner’s Guide covering all aspects of the infrared thermometer.

Non-contact surface temperature measurement with our new pyrometers
Small, handy and highly precise – the pyrometers of the RP series
The winter did last long enough. Finally, we wake up in the morning because the sun is shining through the window and not because rain patters against the window. More frequently we get the grill out of the shed and put a nice piece of meat or vegetables over live coals.
To make the perfect steak or potato we have our new pyrometers to contact-free measure the surface temperature.
The small and handy devices are also best suitable to control the freezer temperature to always let you know that your beer for the grill party is cold enough.
Our pyrometers are suitable for further applications, of course. When it is very cold in your flat measure the temperature of your heater. When your motor overheats quickly then find the reason with the new RP series. Read More
Swine flu: the new pandemic or the old hysteria?
In 2009 the world was caught in the grip of a virus which seemed to spread like wildfire and reach pandemic proportions leaving many members of the public shaken, feeling insecure and fearing that worse was still to come. Swine influenza, or swine or pig flu as it is commonly called, is caused by one of several strains of a virus that is endemic (widespread) in pigs. As if this were not bad enough some strains can mutate into a form that can be passed on to humans. The first to catch the virus are normally people who work with pigs and poultry and whose job invariably brings high levels of exposure to such a strain of virus.
In August 2010, the World Health Organisation issued a declaration stating that the swine flu pandemic was officially over.
And now it appears to be back.
Already a number of deaths have occurred which can be directly linked to H1N1, the swine flu virus. According to the NHS the at-risk groups who should be seeking to get their flu shots are pregnant women, people over 65 and people with certain chronic illnesses like heart or kidney disease.
So just how bad is the situation for each and every one of us individually and what can be done to stop the swine flu and the resulting mass hysteria from spreading?
The experts, and the public, are split on this. There are obviously still a number of factors which have to be taken into account before anyone can safely say why some of the people who caught the flu reacted differently to the virus and why it led to some peoples’ deaths. Has the virus become more aggressive or is it because those affected were genetically disposed to such a hefty or even lethal reaction? Proponents of swine flu vaccinations warn that this is the only real way to stop the virus from spreading and once again reach such magnitudinal proportions.
Yet there is still a large enough number of people who do not accept that swine flu was even a pandemic in the first place and who say that it was misguided governments, a profit-driven pharmaceutical industry and the sensation-seeking television media and press that practiced large-scale scaremongering that nurtured the doubts and fears in the public which led to what many describe as mass lemming-like hysteria.
So who’s right? Well, it would appear that the public at large does not seem to be overly worried about catching the virus and is not seeking to follow the government’s advice or the guidelines given out by many health experts. The vaccine which was stockpiled in 2009 is still sitting in the warehouses to where it was hastily dispatched and although there are doctors and medical experts who readily claim that a flu shot will provide 100% immunization against the H1N1 virus this year, the reaction from members of the public has been sluggish and reluctant.
If you should decide that you wish to have your shot, then you should see that you have it done soon. According to experts, the flu epidemic is expected to peak in January and February and the vaccine will take about two weeks to work.
And should you decide against having a shot and suddenly develop a high temperature, start to shiver uncontrollably, break out in a strong sweat and have a bad headache and throatache coupled with aching limbs, then you should quickly seek medical advice as the chances are that you have caught the flu or even a virus.
Perhaps we will be lucky. Perhaps things won’t turn out as as bad as many predict and perhaps it is time for each and every one of us has to take his or her own health and that of their families into their own hands and decide along with those who they consider to be competent medical experts and experts in other fields what is right for them and what they should do to stay healthy and protect themselves against a possible large-scale outbreak of flu.
But no matter who you are and which line of thinking you choose to follow. The BodyPlus infrared thermometer can help you to measure body temperature quickly and reliably – and contact and trouble-free too! Just hold the infrared device 5 -15 cms from the person’s forehead and press the trigger-like button to obtain an immediate reading. This quick and hygienic method makes the BodyPlus ideal for measuring the temperature of babies and small children as well as all the other members of your family, patients in your surgery… And because you can save up to 32 individual readings, you can quickly see how the temperature has developed.
