Tramex Infrared Surface Thermometer - IRT2
The IRT2 is a handheld, dual laser, non-contact infrared thermometer with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio and audible and visible high/low set point alarms. It measures surface temperatures from -50°C to 650°C with an accuracy of approximately 1 to 1.5% (see specifications), has a fast 0.15 second response time and runs on a 9V battery. Inspectors and restorers use it alongside a moisture meter to check surfaces against dew point.

Where an infrared thermometer earns its place
Ambient relative humidity and air temperature give you dew point. Surface temperature tells you whether a surface sits below it. Below dew point means condensation, and condensation is what causes coating failures, mould growth and readings that make no sense against the ambient conditions.
Infrared reads at a distance and covers area quickly, which makes it the right tool for scanning a wall or slab for cold spots. On shiny, dark or textured surfaces, where emissivity is uncertain, a contact temperature probe gives the more dependable figure. Surveyors carrying both scan with infrared and confirm with contact.

Frequently asked questions
Does it measure moisture?
No. It measures surface temperature only. Used alongside a moisture meter's hygrometer it gives you dew point and the condensation risk, which is a different question from how wet the material is.
Why do readings vary on different surfaces?
Emissivity. Infrared thermometers assume a surface emits heat in a predictable way, and shiny or reflective surfaces do not. Set the emissivity for the surface where you can, and where the surface is uncertain, confirm with a contact probe.
