What is a primarily used for

Chris obviously measuring the surface temperature of items. Electricians use them to measure the temp of a motor and if they are running hot he knows the set up a day to service it. HVAC people use them in air conditioning applications, could use them to measure the temp of the oil you are cooking with too. There are many applications where one would use an IR thermometer We do not recommend it for medical applications though. Hope that help Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
