October 3, 2014 – Flir says its new TG165 imaging IR thermometer lets the user see invisible heat patterns, measure temperatures accurately, and conveniently store images and measurement data for reporting.

The unit promises to eliminate the blind guesswork of troubleshooting by combining a single spot IR thermometer with a thermal camera. Its dual lasers visually mark the edges of what is being measured and the cross hairs pinpoint the centre point of the measurement area, describes Flir. According to the company, the TG165 represents a new category that bridges the gap between traditional spot radiometers and more expensive thermography cameras.
