BENETECH GM1500 1500°C Infrared Thermometer, -30 to 1500 °C, 50:1 Distance-to-Spot
The BENETECH GM1500 is a 1500°C infrared thermometer for non-contact readings on very hot surfaces. It covers -30 to 1500 °C (-22 to 2732 °F) and has a 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio, so you can measure a small target from further away.

What range does the GM1500 cover?
-30 to 1500 °C (-22 to 2732 °F).
What does 50:1 distance-to-spot mean?
At 50 cm away it measures a spot about 1 cm across. Make sure the target is bigger than the spot.
Can I measure shiny metal?
Set the emissivity to suit the surface; polished metal reads low at the default 0.95.
Is it a contact thermometer?
No. It is a non-contact infrared thermometer for surface temperature.
Is delivery free?
Yes. UK delivery is free, dispatched in 1–2 working days.
