Pyrometers are advanced, non-contact temperature measurement instruments designed to measure the thermal radiation emitted by an object. These devices operate on the principle of detecting infrared energy or visible light emitted by a surface and converting it into a temperature reading. Pyrometers are widely used in industrial, scientific, and commercial applications where traditional contact-based thermometers are impractical or unsafe.

Modern pyrometers come in various types, including optical pyrometers, infrared (IR) pyrometers, and radiation pyrometers, each tailored for specific temperature ranges and environments. They are equipped with features such as laser targeting, adjustable emissivity settings, and digital displays for precise measurements. Some models also offer wireless connectivity and data logging capabilities for enhanced usability and integration with other systems.
