Hi everybdy,
Quick one.
I just purchased an infrared thermometer (Fluke) to check the pre-heat temperatures before welding operations. The thermometer is provided without calibration certificate, but with a declaration (in essence, a quality document).
My question would be:
1. Do I need to do a formal calibration of a new instrument;
2. Is there any sense in calibrating an instrument, when the reading is strictly dependant on the emissivity of the surface?
3. How often would you calibrate it, in case?
Thank you in advance!
