Temperature Screening Devices for Australian Workplace and Process Monitoring
Temperature screening devices cover the contactless temperature measurement equipment used in workplace health monitoring, equipment inspection, and process verification. From handheld infrared thermometers through to fixed thermal imaging cameras, the right device matched to the application provides fast, accurate temperature measurement without contact with the surface or person being measured. AIMS Industrial supplies temperature screening devices for trade, industrial, and workplace use.
The temperature screening device types we stock
- Infrared thermometers (handheld) — point-and-measure devices for surface temperature measurement
- Forehead thermometers — contactless skin temperature for workplace health screening
- Thermal imaging cameras — visual heat-map images for inspection and diagnostics
- Industrial pyrometers — high-temperature contactless measurement for foundry, glass, and process work
- Fixed-mount infrared sensors — for continuous monitoring in production lines
- Calibration sources — for verifying thermometer accuracy
Where temperature screening devices earn their place
- Equipment maintenance and inspection — checking bearing, motor, and electrical equipment temperatures during operation
- Process monitoring — verifying temperatures in manufacturing, food processing, and chemical operations
- Workplace health screening — body temperature screening at workplace entries (where required)
- HVAC and building services — verifying duct, vent, and equipment temperatures during commissioning and maintenance
- Welding and heat treatment — verifying workpiece temperatures during welding and heat treatment processes
- Food service and food processing — verifying food product temperatures for safety compliance
Infrared thermometers — how they work
Infrared (IR) thermometers measure the infrared radiation emitted by a surface and convert it to surface temperature. The device's emissivity setting must match the surface emissivity for accurate readings — most metals have low emissivity (0.1-0.3), while painted, coated, or rough surfaces have higher emissivity (0.7-0.95). For accurate readings on bare metal surfaces, apply a high-emissivity tape or use a known-emissivity reference. Distance-to-spot ratio (D:S) determines the measurement spot size — typical handheld devices have 8:1 to 12:1 ratios, meaning at 1m distance the device measures across an 80-125mm spot.
Thermal imaging — when to use
Thermal cameras produce visual heat-map images showing temperature variation across a scene — invaluable for finding electrical faults (hotspots in distribution boards), diagnosing equipment problems (failing bearings, motor windings), inspecting building thermal performance (insulation gaps, water ingress), and process monitoring. The capital cost is significantly higher than spot infrared thermometers, but the ability to see temperature distributions across an area delivers diagnostic capability spot measurement can't match. For workshops and maintenance teams doing regular electrical, mechanical, or building diagnostic work, thermal imaging earns its place.
Workplace health screening
Forehead thermometers for workplace health screening should be used in accordance with workplace health and safety guidance and (where applicable) public health requirements. The accuracy of contactless skin temperature measurement is affected by ambient conditions, recent activity, and operator technique — for workplace screening, follow the device manufacturer's procedure and the relevant workplace health protocol.
Brands stocked at AIMS
Temperature screening devices are stocked from quality manufacturers covering handheld infrared thermometers, thermal imaging, and process pyrometers. For specific brand requirements (Fluke, Testo, FLIR, etc.), contact our team for current options.
Accuracy and calibration
Industrial infrared thermometers are typically rated to ±1-2% accuracy or ±2°C across their working range. For traceable inspection use, periodic calibration against a black-body source is required. For general workshop use, the rated accuracy is adequate without periodic calibration — but be aware that accuracy degrades with age and use.
