Oooh, the FLIR E60. Found seven of them sold on eBay for $4199 to $6660 brand new with case. Would love to have one for working on cars to visualize engine block cooling and heat distribution. Great video. Thanks again, Dave!!
Additionally to selecting the rainbow-palette, you could also set the range manually to something very narrow like 54-58. Then you would have been able to see the irregularities of the surface even better.
The lenses for this series of cameras are about $1000 US each. I think that the majority of the cost of these cameras is the fabrication cost of the focal-plane array microbolometer, which is an integrated-circuit array of amorphous silicon thermal sensors, thermally isolated from the outside environment (I think it is mounted on a vacuum bottle).
I bought a set of Extech branded multimeters, one is a clamp on and the other a standard style. After some time, the standard meter refused to make any voltage readings. The clamp on continually resets itself seconds after being turned on, and if used in continuity mode will continually reset when it beeps.
I have an identical, re-branded unit at the office (USA), but I don't remember the manufacturer's name... Also, it's gray... The little switch under the battery cover selects degrees C or F.
I spent a fair bit of time calibrating the Fluke IR thermometers- the cheaper ones (sub $500) are pretty marginal, a lot failed acceptance testing. Yours looks a lot like 62 IR Mini. Same style case and all.
Cheers Dave for making an actual learning experience! Some enthusiasm and a skill goes a long way. Cheers from some sparkie
No other place in internet to watch something like this. Thnx Dave!
I was hoping to see the bean can demo. But, the explanation of the thermal sensor array was nice, I was curious about that.

Appreciate it is great help and best support for all

Hi Dave! I hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays. :)
Have a great new year.
i would use that heater as an high precision coffee heater
ThorLabs have 1" germanium IR lenses for $225. No idea about the E60 one though.
RayTek is a Fluke company.
Interesting video. Some tasty test gear on display here. I just looked up the price of that FLIR E60, and... ouch!

Exelente... 🔧

did you try to change batteries?
We have use metravi IR calibrator ,is there distance matter while we calibrate IR thermometer with this calibrator
That is identical to my amprobe unit that I bought for about $75us.
looks like that calibrator is not really that great ?
can these measure the temp of a soldering iron tip?
And next.. body temperature calibration to a known reference?
Did Santa bring Sagan an oscilloscope? : )
The one I have is a Raytek, looks exactly the same except for the finger cutouts in the handle, and yes, it says made in china on the bottom of it.
Just a bunch of geeks in a lab, haha i love it
Yap, WAAAAAAANKERS
awww
Did you really say "for those wankers who want to hook it up to their ipad"? .-)
Uhhh second?
Would you mind David, not calling some of your viewers by the W word, it would be greatly appreciated.
1st!
