As industries in Bangladesh continue to prioritize efficiency, safety, and hygiene, the use of Infrared Temperature Guns (IR Guns) has become increasingly widespread. From factories and warehouses to food service, healthcare, and construction sites, IR thermometers offer a quick and non-contact method of measuring surface temperatures.
To ensure the reliability and accuracy of these devices, businesses are now turning to professional IR temperature gun services — including calibration, testing, maintenance, and repair — to support their quality control and safety operations.
An Infrared Temperature Gun, also known as a non-contact IR thermometer, measures the surface temperature of an object by detecting its infrared energy. These handheld devices are popular for their:
Quick response time
Contactless operation
Portability
Ease of use
IR guns are commonly used to measure temperatures of machinery, HVAC systems, food surfaces, body temperatures (in clinical settings), and electrical components — especially in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
Although IR guns are simple to operate, they can lose accuracy over time due to:
Sensor drift
Environmental exposure
Mechanical wear
Improper handling
Professional servicing ensures your IR thermometer is:
Accurate and reliable
Compliant with international safety and quality standards
Ready for inspections, audits, or regulatory checks
Long-lasting, saving money on premature replacements
1. Calibration
Performed using a blackbody calibrator, which provides a stable infrared temperature source
Compares the IR gun’s readings to known standard temperatures
Adjustment or documentation of any deviations
Issuance of traceable calibration certificates (ISO/IEC 17025 where required)
2. Accuracy Testing
Checking the IR gun at multiple setpoints (e.g., 50°C, 100°C, 150°C) to verify performance
Testing emissivity settings to ensure suitability for different surface types
3. Maintenance and Cleaning
Lens cleaning (dust, oil, or condensation can affect readings)
Battery check or replacement
Verifying trigger operation and display clarity
4. Repair and Troubleshooting
Fixing issues such as:
Inaccurate or fluctuating readings
Non-functional display
Broken casing or buttons
Firmware updates (for digital models)
5. Usage Training and Best Practices
Educating staff on:
Proper aiming distance (D:S ratio)
Adjusting for emissivity
Avoiding reflective surfaces
Storing and handling the device correctly
Textile & Garments – Surface temperature checks on machines, dryers, and fabrics
Food & Beverage – Monitoring food surfaces, grill plates, and storage temperatures
Pharmaceuticals – GMP-compliant checks of environmental and equipment temperatures
Construction – Measuring temperature of bitumen, asphalt, or cement
Electrical & Engineering – Identifying overheating components in panels or motors
HVAC & Refrigeration – Checking duct, coil, and outlet temperatures
Healthcare – Screening patients (during epidemics or in hospitals)
Several qualified service providers and calibration labs offer IR thermometer services, including:
LabAsia Calibration Services Ltd. – ISO 17025 accredited, providing calibration and certification
Multitech Engineering & Calibration – Specialized in industrial temperature devices
BSTI (Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution) – National metrology service
Instrument Control & Engineering (ICE) – Provides handheld device support and repair
Authorized dealers of brands like Fluke, Extech, Uni-T, Testo, and Omega
Low-quality or counterfeit IR guns circulating in the market, offering poor accuracy
Lack of awareness among users regarding calibration requirements
Improper use (e.g., incorrect distance or aiming at reflective surfaces) affecting data reliability
Limited availability of local blackbody calibration units in remote areas
As technology evolves and smart manufacturing becomes more common in Bangladesh, the future of IR temperature guns includes:
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled IR guns
Data logging and cloud connectivity
Integration with mobile apps for real-time reporting
More compact, industrial-grade designs for field use
In Bangladesh’s safety- and quality-conscious industries, IR temperature guns are indispensable tools. However, to ensure their accuracy and effectiveness, regular servicing and calibration is essential. Whether you're managing a food factory, a textile mill, or a clinical environment, investing in professional IR gun service will protect your process integrity, improve compliance, and ensure safe operations.
