Abstract

Temperature measurements can be performed on contact and non-contact basis. In certain situations, direct contact temperature measurement of objects is difficult, so they should be performed without touching the objects. The phenomenon of heat transfer between the objects and their environment causes a difference between the temperature of the objects, especially on the surface of the objects, and the media temperature around the objects. This fact demands a transformation between non-contact measured temperatures with the temperature of the objects. In this study, the problem of heat transfer from heat source objects to surrounding media is developed to determine the media temperature around the object. The results are experimentally tested to determine the transformation between contact object temperature measurement and non-contact temperature measurement. A model was then designed that stated the relationship between measurable temperature and measurement distance from the source. The obtained temperature distribution model was matched with the results of non-contact measurement experiments at the Applied Physics Laboratory of Politeknik Negeri Bandung. Measured temperature readings by infrared thermometers depend on distance from the source, with temperature models inversely proportional to the inverse squared distance. From this study, the correlation coefficient between the measured temperature and the distance of the heat source for non-contact measurements and contact measurements at distances more than 4 cm respectively are 0.96 and 0.92. This shows a strong relationship between the measured temperature and the distance from the heat source.
