Is temperature measuring gun accurate?

Under normal circumstances, it is generally accurate to measure temperature with temperature measuring gun.

Under normal circumstances, it is generally accurate to measure temperature with temperature measuring gun. However, because temperature measuring gun measures the body surface temperature of human body, many factors will lead to inaccurate measurement due to external factors. When temperature measuring gun is used to measure temperature, it is easily influenced by air and temperature. If it is cold outside and the limbs such as face and hands are bare, it will easily affect the measurement.

If you want to measure data more accurately, you need to measure it in a place covered by clothes. The operation method of the temperature gun is mainly to aim the infrared detector at the center of the forehead above the eyebrows, keeping it horizontal and vertical, about 3-5cm away from the forehead. For example, mercury thermometers are used to measure the mouth, armpits and other parts.

Because the measurement is inside the human body and will not be greatly influenced by external factors, the data of the thermometer is more accurate than that of temperature measuring gun. In addition, if you want to use temperature measuring gun to measure more accurate data, you need to rest for a few minutes in a quiet environment and take multiple averages. The advantage of temperature gun is fast and safe.

Measurement can save time, especially in the face of infectious diseases and a large number of people who are prone to catch a cold, so it will be more convenient to use temperature measuring gun. As long as the electronic thermometer is of good quality, the measured body temperature is generally accurate. Although the traditional mercury thermometer has high accuracy, it is easy to break and dangerous, and it takes a long time to measure. Electronic thermometer has the advantages of safety and rapidity.
