User:Radir

Radir (based in Milton Keynes, UK) was started in 2003.

The basis of this specialist industrial instrumentation technical support organisation is temperature measurement, particularly using remote (no wires) temperature sensing.

Several meanings exist behind the company name. One being 'RADiation' measurement of IR spectral emission. (Rad IR))

Infra-Red is the established method of determining surface temperature of objects. It includes both miniature low cost IR temperature sensors, sophisticated high performance versions (including fibre optic and multi- wavelength pyrometers).

RAdir can also stand for RAytek anD IRcon. Ircon used to be a competitor to our long established (over 20 years) support of UK/Ireland Raytek thermometry. Radir now provide full technical support, repairs, servicing and calibration of these products as well as any IR sensor.

Infra-red sensing also applies to "point and read" portable IR thermometers. These can be low cost (less than £50) through to sophisticated Thermal Imaging cameras.

Thermal imagers have recently reduced in price, and increased in performance and specification. Also - with technical evolution being a major reason, Fusion Technology, and Picture in Picture features are becoming desirable. A visual image is collected every time a thermal image is recorded, and these can be blended or the visual picture can show the surroundings to the thermal picture. In this way it is easy to identify thermal issues and the location.
