"Point And Shoot" Temperature Gun

"Point And Shoot" Temperature Gun CROP STORAGE Grain Storage 27-2-9 Here's a handy new "toy" that'll instantly measure the surface temperature of almost any object using a beam of infrared light. It looks like a radar gun and has a laser pointer that helps you zero in on whatever you want to measure. You just point and pull the trigger and the temperature instantly shows up on the backlit display. It's a safe way to measure hot, hard-to-reach, or moving parts. It'll read temperatures ranging from 0 to 525 degrees Fahrenheit. The manufacturer, Raytek Corp., says users of the new product are constantly coming up with new applications. For example, mechanics are using it on engines to check exhaust systems, cooling systems, tires, brakes, bearings, and so on. The tool can also be used in the home, shop or even grain bins to spot costly energy losses around windows and doors.
