Re: Apco temp gauge error?
Also be aware of the sample area of your infrared gun - the sample area is usually BIGGER than the laser dot, and it get's much bigger as you get further away from the surface. The emmissivity of the surafce varies too - If you really want to check test the gauge probe in a fluid like MikeK says, and compare to a calibrated thermometer or similar reliable source.
