......and of course we can trust the HF gauges to be accurately calibrated and consistent instruments! Also, the shinyness of the metal has a BIG effect on IR gauges. BEST way to eval a temperature gauge is check two points: boiling water (212 F) and ice water (32F). And if you want to check your HF non contact gauge, heat and cool a piece of dark and a piece of shiny metal in the water and measure them.
