Frequently Asked Questions
How does an infrared thermometer work?
An infrared thermometer measures surface temperature by detecting the infrared energy radiating from an object, without ever touching it. This non-contact method lets you scan surfaces instantly, making IR thermometers ideal for fast temperature checks in food handling, warehousing, and incoming goods inspection.
What is an infrared thermometer used for in food safety?
Infrared thermometers are used to quickly check the surface temperature of food, packaging, and storage areas during receiving, display, and cold chain checks. Models like the Testo 831 can take two measurements per second, letting staff scan whole pallets in seconds for faster HACCP and hygiene compliance. For monitoring storage temperature over time, see our Cool Chain loggers.
Can infrared thermometers measure core or internal temperature?
No, infrared thermometers only read surface temperature since they measure radiated heat rather than penetrating the product. For accurate core temperature readings of meat or liquids, a Probe Thermometer is recommended instead.
Which Testo infrared thermometer is best for small or pocket-sized use?
The Testo 805 Mini Infrared Food Thermometer is a compact, pocket-sized option for quick non-contact surface readings. It includes a TopSafe protective case rated IP65 for protection against water and dirt, plus a scan mode for ongoing monitoring.
Are Testo infrared thermometers waterproof or protected against dirt?
Several models come with a TopSafe protective case for added durability. The Testo 805 and Testo 826-T2 both include TopSafe, rated IP65 against water and dirt, with the Testo 826-T2 also certified to EN 13485 when used with the case. To maintain accuracy over time, regular checks through our Food Instrument Calibration service are recommended.
