Default RE: Temperature Gun


ORIGINAL: kyoshosan

Hi all,
I am looking for a good temperature gun but they all seem to have the EMISSIVITY FIXED at 0.95 ? is this the right value for aur glow engines ? Should i get one with the emissivity adjustable, what would be the correct value ?? thanks in advance.

The $25 Duratrax has adjustable emissivity settings. It's an OK value, not perfect. It all depends on the material the surface is made of. Anodized, not anodized and even the color of the anodizing will change the emissivity of the material.
