22 13. Information on contact measurement
Because of their low or non-uniform emission level, blank metals and metal oxides are
only of limited use for IR measurement.
Coatings that increase the emission level, e.g. paint or emission adhesive (art. no.
0554 0051) must be applied to the measurement object. If this is not possible:
measure using a contact thermometer.

12.3 Measuring range, distance
Depending on the distance of the measuring instrument from the measurement object,
a specific measuring range is recorded.
Measuring lens (ratio of distance : measuring range)

Not in italics = measuring range
13. Information on contact measurement
Observe the minimum penetration depth for immersion/penetration probes: 10x
probe diameter
Avoid using in aggressive acids or alkalis.
