[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1640691, member: 93138"] Once you use one of these: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EW837S/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] for one thing you'll find all sorts of other uses for it. An important thing to know about them is the surface "Emissivity" can skew the results. Two ways to deal with this, 1) Always measure your temps at the same spot and from roughly the same angle; 2) paint a flat black spot on metals not already that color and always measure the temperature there. From previous experiments a machined aluminum surface is nowhere near as repeatable and consistent as a spot of flat black paint on that machined aluminum surface. [/QUOTE]
