In other words, the area being measured becomes larger as the distance increases. This ratio will have a significant impact on the accuracy or precision of the reading. If the target you are measuring is 6 inches in size, and your handheld infrared thermometer has a D\/S ratio of 8:1, then the maximum distance at which you can reliably measure the temperature of the target is 48 inches. Beyond this distance, not only is the target being measured, but whatever else falls within the \"spot\" is being measured as well.This means that if a very hot object is the target, and it is in cooler surroundings, then measurements taken beyond the maximum distance will include cooler elements, lowering the \"average\" of what is in the \"spot.\"<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The accuracy of the handheld infrared thermometer is primarily determined by the distance-to-spot ratio (D\/S Ratio).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[599],"tags":[606],"class_list":["post-7509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infra-red-thermometers-en","tag-infra-red-thermometers-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7509"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7513,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7509\/revisions\/7513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ban.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
